Shadowed Summer by Saundra Mitchell

3.0

A very summery, spooky story that's much stronger than the cover suggests. The sense of place and heat is vivid, which makes a nice contrast when things get turned upside down and Iris is shivering from her encounters with the ghost of a boy who disappeared years before. The characters are another strength of the story - both the present day teens and the adults who were around when Elijah disappeared. I'd recommend it to 7th graders and up looking for a ghost story.
