The three of them, Gran, Jenny, and Seward, are drawn into a kind of deadly game with one another and with the sea, a game that only the sea knows how to win.<br/>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[First, this is cataloged as a YP, but I think it is Juvenile fiction.<br/><br/>Second, it is a simple book for kids struggling to read but want something about ghosts. It isn't spooky, but there is enough entrigue to make them enjoy it I think.<br/><br/>It was a quick weekend read. ]]></body>
