You've heard, "Never judge a book by its cover," right? So true. I only picked up this book because it had been recommended to me, but I thought that it looked dated and....sort of lame. Shame on me - this was good! The story begins with 11-year-old Allie stuck on the side of a cliff after fossil hunting. Then a voice - from where? - calmly gives advice on how to get down. After seeing a young girl's grave in a nearby cemetery and doing some research with her friend Dub, Allie is convinced that the voice belonged to the ghost of Lucy Stiles, who died four years ago but whose body was never found. Now Allie is trying to solve the mystery of Lucy's death so that Lucy's spirit can finally rest in peace. This is a well-paced book that's hard to put down, so look past the cover and check it out.
