Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
A chilling supernatural tale!

Just before summer begins, thirteen-year-old Ali finds an old photograph. She recognizes the two children. One's her mother, the other her aunt Dulcie…but who is the third person, the one who's been torn out of the picture? Ali will have all summer to figure it out, since she's spending the summer with her aunt and her cousin in the same house her mom and aunt used to visit when they were kids.

Then Ali meets Sissy. Sissy is mean, spiteful, and determined to ruin Ali's summer. Sissy also has a secret. Could it have something to do with the old photo? Ali is dying to find out, and if she's not careful, that's exactly what might happen to her.

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Really Easy Read
I bought this book for my daughter and read it for myself. It was a very easy quick read and held my attention. I enjoyed it as much as my daughter did. She has also read several other books by this author and has enjoyed them as well. I recommend it highly as it was suitable for my 10 year old and was thought provoking as well.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - BEST BOOK EVER!!
I could not put this book down. I didn't have a favorite part, but here is something about the book. I thought Sissy was a total brat, and Emma liked her because she didn't have a friend. Then Ali hated her and who would blamed her? But Even though I hated Sissy, I felt sorry for her. I kept thinking she was a brat, why do I feel sorry for a brat? Then I read the end and it all came together. BEST BOOK I EVER READ!!




Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Good ghost story
I've always enjoyed Hahn's stories since I was in grade school. The very first ghost story I read of hers, Wait Till Helen Comes, is truly chilling and amazing. While Deep and Dark and Dangerous doesn't live up to "Helen's" legacy, it's still a good ghost story. I found it to be a tad predictable, but for a teen novel that's completely excusable. The characters were still well written with lots of depth (though I thought that the dialogue for the 4 year old character was a little unbelievable). All in all, an enjoyable read...couldn't really put it down. Despite it's being predictable, it was truly written in a way to keep the reader engaged. I recommend this for 9 to 15 year olds...and for those adults who have either been a fan of Hahn's or who want to read a good ghost story.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - First time Hahn reader
This was the very first book Ive read by this author. I got it from my sons school Book Fair. I wanted to read it before he read it to make sure it was age appropriate. I expected it to be a bit cheesy, and hokey. I was surprised! Its very good. The author was very elequent and descriptive. It was a page turner for me. I would say its not for children who scare easily. While its not gorey, it is a good chiller for 9 and up. Its got mystery and suspense. Whiles its a bit predictable, its still one of those books where you just cannot help but want to read it from cover to cover without interuption. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I definately look forward to reading more of her ghost stories in the future.
