Cemetery Ridge - Paperback

by Barbara Eckholdt Johnstone (Author)

Centered around an old, eerie graveyard, this novel pulls the reader into the suspense of a twisted thriller and the spiral of internal turmoil experienced by twelve-year-old Lacey Tracey as she journeys through middle school drama. Enduring her family's move from the metropolis of Pittsburgh, PA to the small, middle-of-nowhere town Cemetery Ridge, OH, Lacey tries to fit in with peers at her new school, while at the same time, being on the receiving end of student dislike for the principal, her (adoptive) father. Believing Cemetery Ridge is a strange, hick town where nothing exciting could possibly happen, Lacey finds herself plunged into intrigue, piecing together clues to the disappearance of a young girl named Brooke who tries desperate measures to reunite with her family. Developing confidence in herself, Lacey turns foes into friends as circumstances collide and relentless determination must get them through a dangerous encounter with an unexpected stranger to solve a mystery with far-reaching tentacles to the past.
