Mystery

Have you ever found yourself wallowing in a mystery? Ali has, for sure. When Ali’s aunt, Darcie, comes by and asks Ali if she would like to come to the cottage with her and Darcie’s daughter, Emma, Ali’s mother suddenly starts to freak out. Earlier, Ali had found a torn picture of Aunt Darcie, Ali’s mother, and a strange girl who has been torn out. Later at the cottage, Ali sees Emma playing with a girl in a faded blue swimsuit. The girl’s name is Sissy and she is not very nice. Sissy influences Emma to do the meanest things. Who was the strange girl in the torn picture? Why didn’t Ali’s mother want Ali to go to the cottage? Why is Sissy making Emma do all these mean things? Little did Ali know, the cottage held the scariest mystery of all. Will anything ever be the same again?

This book is easily in my top five favorite books (and I’ve read a lot). I wouldn’t change anything in this book. There are many mysteries Ali needs to solve. This book I could not (and I mean could not) put down! The book is like a vortex, you enter the eerie Maine cottage with Emma, Ali, Sissy, and Darcie. Deep and Dark and Dangerous is filled with creepy mysteries and every turn of the page unlocks a clue to this frightening ghost story.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes to sit around the campfire and tell scary stories. I give this book 5 stars. This book has a great plot, and always keeps you entertained. 187 pages of pure mystery, starting on page 1. Happy reading!
