Item Description
Lynda Styles was born and raised in Salem, Massachusetts, home of the infamous witch trials of 1692. Salem is a place heavy with history and Styles never had to search far for dark influences for her imagination. A lover of words, she began writing very early. Styles received a typewriter at age nine, a gift from her Uncle John, and was published in the local newspapers more than once.
Her book is a great read for teens with a good message:
Seventeen year old Katelyn King never speaks at school, and everyone has finally stopped talking to her. They call her The Mute, but what they don't realize is Katelyn can see ghosts and is a psychic-medium. Struggling with being abandoned by her over-religious mother, Katelyn fears her father will learn her secret and leave her, too. Then, Katelyn is visited by the ghosts of Salem's dark past, and she realizes she has no choice but to get over her fears and learn how to help them find peace.
When Katelyn is paired on a History Project with two popular girls, Cassie Wallace and Laenie Pratt, she wonders how long she can hide what she sees without looking completely crazy. It doesn't take long before she sees that her secret can't be kept forever. After they begin the project together, investigating Salem's scariest and darkest secret, Cassie Wallace, a pretty cheerleader who loves to party, is kidnapped by a delusional online predator when she takes a risk on a social site on Halloween. She is held captive in one of Salem's scariest tourist attractions and no one can find her. Katelyn tries to keep her ability under wraps and help find Cassie before it's too late, but the secret is getting harder and harder to hold onto. This tale has gripping twists and turns, sure to entertain the Young Adult reader and many more.
