About this listen

Just before summer begins, 13-year-old Ali finds an old photograph. She recognizes the two children in it; 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 two months 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 - though, if she’s not careful, that may be exactly what happens to her.

Critic reviews

“Hahn weaves into the story some classic mystery elements such as a torn photograph, a waterlogged doll, dense fog, and an empty grave, all of which add to the suspense and keep the well-plotted story moving along to a satisfying conclusion.” ( School Library Journal)
“Hahn offers another eerie, suspenseful ghost story filled with family secrets…the emotional weight of family dynamics and the private burdens of adults might have overwhelmed the ghost story, but Hahn maintains the momentum with scenes that will chill readers as surely as a plunge in cold water.” ( Booklist)
“Signature spooky Hahn sends appropriate shivers up the reader’s spine.” ( Kirkus Reviews)

Wasn’t a bad listen but it didn’t really grip me, lost interest half way though, but did finish it

Not as spooky as I had hoped. The plot was pretty predictable from the start. Still, a good read. I enjoyed it.

Predictable, but fantastic all the same.

Decent enough for a freebie. Easy listen although almost like a children’s book at times.

This was a fun ride, went through it in one sitting. Spooky and creepy at times, with great characters. Great narration too 👌

Fun quick listen

This book was slow to establish the story, the narrator’s voice was annoying, and the plot was weak.

Slow starter

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Has this author ever met a 4 year old child? does she know divers do not dive alone? The idea for the story was a good one but the actual content was clumsy, clunky, poorly researched (if researched at all) and banal.

What a complete load of rubbish
