Under the Tracks (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780578966830)

A ghost story, inspired by true events.

On her tenth birthday, Gwen sees what she believes is a lost boy in the forest below an old Victorian house - a child desperate for help. When the search comes up empty, and no child was ever reported missing, her parents and the authorities think it is just her imagination.

Four years later, in the summer of 1982, she embarks upon a quest to find the answer to her only question: did she see a ghost? Gwen convinces five of her friends to join her for an adventurous day hiking up the forested hillside to explore the abandoned house. One day to try to solve the mystery, and prove to everyone she'd told the truth.

The day of youthful abandon tests the strength of their resolve, when what they encounter, within the crumbling walls, is more than they could have imagined. Their shocking discovery changes their perceptions of reality, the course of their relationships, and darkens the history of their sleepy town of Douglas forever.
