BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
People are disappearing from Blight Harbor. Lark, Claret, Mae, and Brigid had perfect plans, but their parents are wary of the danger around their town. The girls are sure they know who is behind the trouble, but they can’t get their parents to listen. Something is really wrong - someone is manipulating the adults. The girls must venture into a dark, mysterious other place to solve the puzzle and rescue one of the girls’ older sister from her unreliable beau, facing danger on many fronts.
Senf takes us back to Blight Harbor in 1921, when John Jeffery Pope was still alive and the Lighthouse Keeper had not yet taken her place. The danger is palpable and Johnny really shows his evil colors. The tension is well built and the friendship between the girls is lovely. It will be good for young raiders to read this right after reading the original trilogy.
The characters cue white.
