Summary: When young Gus LeGarde befriends a cranky old hermit in the woods who speaks to an Indian spirit, he wonders if the man is nuts. But when the ghostly Penni rattles tin cups, draws on dusty mirrors, and flips book pages, pestering him to find evidence to avenge her past, things change. What Gus doesn’t understand is why his mother hates Tully, until his relentless investigation uncovers a hint of scandal about Tully and Gus’s grandfather, Marlowe Wright. On horseback, Gus and his friends ride through woods overlooking Conesus Lake to Tully’s abandoned house, reportedly still infected with the Genesee Valley Fever from the 1700s. Unafraid, they enter and find shocking evidence that could rewrite history. Can Gus convince his mother to forgive Tully? And will the proof he found free Penni’s spirit? Gus summons courage beyond his years in this poignant and powerful telling of the summer of 1965.
My Take:
I was interested to read this once since I have reviewed one of Aaron Paul Lazar's novels in the past. I enjoy a mystery now and again so I was glad to have this one. Lazar has a smooth writing style that keeps the reader interested from page one. As a horse owner I enjoyed the young rider getting into trouble aspect of the novel. It honestly brought me back to days of trial riding, and sneaking where we didn't belong. Overall a fun read by a great author, be sure to check it out.
