Synopsis: Ambitious and ambiguous. "Chris is spending a week alone on deserted Fowlers Island, [Maine,] despite rumors that it is haunted, just to prove he can. Once there he meets Joellen, whose father is studying the puffins that have been reintroduced to the island. Together they work to solve the mystery of the ghostly sightings ... ... But by the end, even tenacious readers won't know if there was a ghost, if Joellen somehow controlled events through her writings, or if she was just the victim of uncanny coincidences. (Fiction. 10+)" --Kirkus Reviews 1997-06-15 (in full, above)
