Too bad they still believe in witches in Pine Crest. And they don't like them at all. Sarah's about to relive a horrible ordeal that happened hundreds of years ago--unless someone can undo a terrible wrong.
This was my first Lois Duncan novel. I thought it was excellent! The book was very suspenseful and gave tons of descriptive detail, as well as lots of feelings and emotions in the characters. The story is about a girl named Sarah that has just moved from a town called Ventura,California. She moves to a small little town called Pine Crest that seems nice on the outside, but is really twisted and hidden with unbearable lies underneath. Sarah is asked to take part in a school fundraiser, a carnival and is asked to be a gypsy that tells fortunes. She uses an old paperweight as her glass ball, but later she discovers that she can see people's secrets and predict the future! I don't want to give the book away, but something terrible happens.. sending lies, mischief,backstabbers,magic, and witches into the small quiet town of Pine Crest. I really enjoyed this book, it was a great thriller!
I gave this book 5 stars because it made me have goosbumps down my arm, I even got a bit scared.
