A Shadow in the Dark

Novel

When Kirsten moves out to the country, she's happy to learn from a neighbor boy that another girl lives in a nearby farmhouse. Kirsten sets out to meet the girl but is told by an old woman at the house that she lives there alone. Kirsten befriends another neighbor's granddaughter, and soon the two overhear the old woman scolding someone in her house. They see a shadowy figure at the front windows of her house. And dresses they discover hanging on her clothesline are too small to be the old woman's. Is someone being held captive? Who is the girl the neighbor boy saw? And why doesn’t she come out?

Margo Dill reviewed A Shadow in the Dark positively in her blog, "Read These Books and Use Them." She makes suggestions for teachers and homeschoolers how they can use fiction books with children, and she did a great job with A Shadow in the Dark.
