Weirded out by his experience but unable to stay away, Matt returns to the ruins. In a burned-out church, a girl in a hat and old-fashioned ruffled dress appears. She warns him to leave if he wants to stay alive. Her name is Amelia Rathburn. But when Matt looks her up, he discovers that she is one hundred years old.Is Amelia a ghost from the past? Or someone a lot more human? The truth is stranger than Matt could ever imagine.This ebook features an extended biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.
