Morris (venatusis) | 1 comments This is a book I read about 9-11 years ago in school. It was about two siblings/kids who went/moved to relatives. It was an old house, with lots of land around it. Somewhere close to the house there was a swamp/pond/marsh where a child had previously drowned. In the house lived an old man and a younger/middle aged woman who might have been related to him and took care of him. At one point the old man mistakes one of the kids (can't remember if it was the boy or girl) for the child who had drowned. The child's spirit/ghost is trying to get the kids closer to the pond, and in one scene the sister goes out in the middle of the night to find her brother knee deep in the water.
If I remember correctly the book had a fairly short title(at least in Swedish) and a dark cover, possibly with a tree and a house on it.
This has been driving me insane for days, and I'd love to find it again!

Morris ~~
You can "bump" your thread every month or so. This pushes your thread back to the top of the folder instead of languishing here on page 91 from two months ago, where fewer eyes will see it. Get back in the game! Bump!
You can do this by typing a new comment at the end of the thread, or even by typing the word "bump."
Good luck!
