A New Middle Grade Fantasy
from Monarch Publishing !Ghost Writers: The Haunting of Lake Lucy
A Novel in Verse
What if your new penpal has a grave problem?
Thirteen-year-old Jayce is terrified of pitch-black, enclosed spaces since he fell asleep in his grandma’s attic as a little kid. So when he dreams of a dark and ghost-filled house as soon as his family rents a place at Lake Lucy for the summer, he’s determined to stop the nightmares.
Jayce is convinced the same ghost in his dreams occupies the creepy house next door. Writing a letter to the ghost and asking what it wants seems a good compromise to visiting the eyesore in person.
When the ghost replies, Jayce must pull himself together and fulfill her cryptic demands. If he can’t figure out what she wants him to do, he’ll remain haunted forever, not only by the ghost, but by neglecting to stop a lonely boy from making a terrible mistake.
Written in a free form style, GHOST WRITERS: THE HAUNTING OF LAKE LUCY is filled with haiku, acrostic, narrative, erasure, and reverse poems, and is suitable for readers ages eight and up.
