Author Description

Haunting whispers are back! And so, another mind-blowing journey for thirteen-year-old Jake Mactaggart. It all begins with those whispers, this time concerning a new kid on the block, Conor Graves. He's a mysterious boy, with a blank face and dead eyes, who is unaware of the dark secret looming like a heavy cloud, about to weep. And when the rains do come, lies are washed away, leaving hard truth-bitter pills for Jake to swallow. There is something else gnawing at Jake, also difficult to accept, and the very thought of it fills him with dread: The real possibility of losing his starting position in center field. To Conor Graves! Then, on one afternoon at the ball field, sun blazing, Conor and Jake are awed by a strange occurrence, and everything changes. But Jake shudders when he thinks about what's now in store for them, in this coming-of-age novel for boys and girls alike.
