Deep and Dark and Dangerous

De: Mary Downing Hahn

Narrado por: Rachel Dulude

Just before summer begins, 13-year-old Ali finds an old photograph. She recognizes the two children in it; one’s her mother, the other her aunt Dulcie - but who is the third person, the one who’s been torn out of the picture? Ali will have two months to figure it out, since she’s spending the summer with her aunt and her cousin in the same house her mom and aunt used to visit when they were kids.

Then Ali meets Sissy. Sissy is mean, spiteful, and determined to ruin Ali’s summer. Sissy also has a secret. Could it have something to do with the old photo? Ali is dying to find out - though, if she’s not careful, that may be exactly what happens to her.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Hahn weaves into the story some classic mystery elements such as a torn photograph, a waterlogged doll, dense fog, and an empty grave, all of which add to the suspense and keep the well-plotted story moving along to a satisfying conclusion.” ( School Library Journal)

“Hahn offers another eerie, suspenseful ghost story filled with family secrets…the emotional weight of family dynamics and the private burdens of adults might have overwhelmed the ghost story, but Hahn maintains the momentum with scenes that will chill readers as surely as a plunge in cold water.” ( Booklist)

“Signature spooky Hahn sends appropriate shivers up the reader’s spine.” ( Kirkus Reviews)

Who’s who??!!!

Everyone sounds the same it was hard to know who was talking but otherwise it was a great book 🤩

I Loved this book!!

I had read this book before and loved it! And I still do! The story is great and complex, The only thing that was not so great was the Narrators voice kinda boring to listen to :/. But other then that it was Awesome. Great for kids 9-14!

My favorite YA author

While the story is predictable for adults, realize that this is written for a younger audience. Younger readers are less likely to predict the ending though some will. Mary Downing Hahn paints eerie pictures with her word craft and as always does not disappoint.

I loved it

It really kept me intrigued and as a person with adhd it not easy very good

Good book!

I read this book several times when I was younger, it was really nostalgic to listen to it! I would say it’s more for younger people 10-15, but it’s still entertaining to listen to when I’m older!

Amazing

My teacher read it to me in 4th grade. My favorite book ever since. !! Amazing book.

Suspenseful

Read this back when I was in 4th grade, and loved it… Bought it again 15 years later as an audible, and is still a top favorite for me.

Thrilling story

Loved the characters very well paced. Great intrigue kept me interested the whole time.great plot.

Predictable but a good story

Although this was a very predictable story for me, it was a good one. Well written and likable characters. Well, maybe "Sissy" wasn't as likable. Goes to show that some things in life can come back to haunt you.

So Intriguing

The story is so intriguing that you do not realize that it is a "ghost story". Excellent writing and narration.
