What Lives in the Woods

Ages 10 to 14, Grades 5 to 9

While living in the decrepit and creepy Woodmoor Manor, Ginny discovers something in the woods is after her.

All Ginny Anderson wants from her summer is to relax. But when Ginny's father–a respected restoration expert in Chicago–surprises the family with a month-long trip to Michigan, everything changes. They aren't staying in a hotel like most families would. No, they're staying in a mansion. A twenty-six room, century-old building surrounded by dense forest. Woodmoor Manor.

Locals claim the surrounding woods are inhabited by mutated creatures that escaped a mad scientist over a hundred years ago. And some say campers routinely disappear never to be seen again.

When the creaky floors and shadowy corners of the mansion seem to take on a life of their own, Ginny uncovers the wildest mystery of all: There's more than one legend roaming Saugatuck, Michigan, and they definitely aren't after campers.

They're after her.
