Ghost of Northumberland Strait
Book Description:
The last thing thirteen-year-old Charly Pederson expects to do is meet a ghost when she, her mother and sister Nikki move to P.E.I. to live with Grammie after her parents' divorce. Charly knows something is up with that old, abandoned house on Northumberland Strait the day that four of them break in and snoop around. While the other kids are satisfied to stay out of the spooky house after that, Charly feels drawn back to the place and knows she has to return alone. She does return and is swept into a time-traveling adventure during which she makes the most unlikely friend – a woman who’s been dead since long before Charly was born.
Where There's a Will
I’m also launching here, chapter by chapter, the sequel The Ghost of Northumberland Strait entitled Where There’s a Will. The first book left you hanging and the second will leave you on the edge of your seat as Charly and her family struggle to gain possession of the haunted house on Prince Edward Island.
Chapter One
After reading about Charly and her adventures, a young fan from northern Alberta posed as Charly with a copy of The Ghost of Northumberland Strait tucked under her arm.
