Children's Literature
- Elisabeth Greenberg
In book two of this series, Gretchen suffers from glimmerings of memory and obtrusive, possibly evil, spirit presences in her life. Her stalwart childhood friend Will tries to protect Gretchen from elusive memories of flashing fire that killed the unearthly seekriegers that sought them in a previous book as he carefully crafts a love relationship with her; meanwhile both Gretchen and Will grieve for the death of Will's brother Tim, nominally killed in a boating accident but actually dragged to the bottom of the sea by the seekriegers. Gretchen, newly arrived in her former summer town for the school year, makes friends with Mafer, a so-called "witch girl," who sometimes sees beyond reality and just "knows" things.
