It's a great book for young horror lovers. I really enjoyed the ghosty bits of this one. What a perfect book to read on the heels of reading Violet by Scott Thomas ! This book could have easily been his inspiration behind writing Violet.ĭeep and Dark and Dangerous is a middle grade ghost story. At first Ali thinks Sissy is just trying to scare her with a ghost story, but soon she discovers the real reason why Sissy is so angry: she is the ghost of Teresa and blames Claire and Dulcie for her death. Sissy keeps talking about Teresa, a girl who drowned under mysterious circumstances when Claire and Dulcie were kids. Emma idolizes and imitates Sissy, becoming bratty and hostile and accepting Sissy's dangerous dares. The vacation by the lake turns unpleasant when Ali and Emma meet a mean, spiteful kid named Sissy.
Claire, who is phobic about water, is dead set against her going but is forced to agree. Ali, 13, is eager to spend her vacation with Aunt Dulcie, helping to care for her little niece, Emma, in the lake house where Dulcie and Claire, Ali's mother, spent summers. Could it have something to do with the old photo? Ali is dying to find out, and if shes not careful, thats exactly what might happen to her.Deep and Dark and Dangerous is a middle grade horror book by Mary Downing Hahn.Ī family secret is at the root of Mary Downing Hahn's story of supernatural events in Maine.
