Whisper in the Dark by Joseph Bruchac


I am a Bruchac fan! Whisper in the Dark is full of legend and mystery. Readers won't be sure whether Maddy, the protagonist--(oh yeah, she's an orphan), is dealing with a bad guy or with a legendary Native American Ghost! This book is pretty creepy--so if you like to be scare, read this one! Here's what the card catalog says:

"An ancient and terrifying Narragansett native-American legend begins to come true for a teenage long-distance runner, whose recovery from the accident that killed her parents has stunned everyone, including her guardian aunt in Providence, Rhode Island."
