Suddenly I was at the edge of a clearing and before me lay the dark mirror of the rock pool. I had no time to catch my breath when the voice I had followed became a scream that filled the void with terror.
Summer at Mirrabooka with a cantankerous aunt is not Jenny's idea of a great holiday. But things don't turn out quite as she expects.
There are whispers of a tragedy long ago and Jenny becomes aware that someone - or something - mysterious inhabits the old house. Who is the figure that appears to her, which no one will talk about> And what is the taboo surrounding the forbidden rock pool?
From back cover.
