About the book

Children's book from the 1970's. Main character (Sherry) goes to spend some time with her Aunt during the summer. Sherry is never told that she had a half-sister, Miranda, who drowned. Strange things start to happen and clues to Miranda's existence that Sherry could not know. Very good read and a favorite for many!
