"The last thing Tasha wants is to move from her home in Atlanta to Middle-of-Nowhere, Georgia. But when her mother dies and Tasha is taken in by her father--a man she's never met, who took off when she was just a baby--she doesn't have much of a choice. The trailer park where Tasha's father and grandmother live seems like a miserable place to spend a summer, even before one of her neighbors mysteriously passes away. That's when she meets a girl named Ellie, who's sure she knows what's behind the death: a shadowy, spindly creature that stalks the trailer park at night. Tasha doesn't want to believe it, but when she discovers an old book of hoodoo and Southern legends in her grandmother's trailer, and more people around her fall ill, she begins to fear that Ellie's story is true--and that danger might be closer than she thinks"--Page 4 of cover.
