The Haunting of Sunshine Girl
Description:
Something freaky’s going on with Sunshine’s new house… there’s the chill that wraps itself around her bones, the giggling she can hear in the dead of night, and then the strange shadows that lurk in her photographs. But the more weird stuff that happens, the less her mom believes her. Sunshine’s always had a quirky affiliation with the past, but this time, history is getting much too close for comfort…
If there is something, or someone, haunting her house, what do they want? And what will they do if Sunshine can’t help them?
As things become more frightening and dangerous, and the giggles she hears turn to sobs and screams, Sunshine has no choice but to accept what she is, face the test before her and save her mother from a fate worse than death.
Reader's Review:
“The Haunting of Sunshine Girl” by Paige McKenzie is the first in a series. McKenzie tells a haunting tale that follows the protagonist, a ‘recently turned’ 16-year-old girl who follows her mother from their home in Austin, Texas, to a creepy rental house in Ridgemont, up in the Northwestern part of the United States. Sunshine Girl, one who didn’t ‘fit in’ back at her old school takes the same role in her new school until she finds a friend in an art class. The two eventually get together to fight the constant hauntings going on in her home. When her mother stops listening to her, Nolan is her only companion on this dangerous trek. The story is indeed one that will keep the reader glued to the book wondering what will happen next, right up to the end. I have to say that some of the things I thought might be predictable turned out differently than I had guessed. Read “The Haunting of Sunshine Girl” and see if you can correctly predict what will happen next. A perfect read before Halloween.
