One sweltering day, on their way back from a water fight at the park, they spot an old lady who has wound them up by bursting their football. They make a bad decision.

And when Johnny wakes up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, feeling a presence in his room, he believes that he's being haunted and the strain starts to show . . .<br/><br/>An incredibly dramatic, pacy novel about getting in over your head, guilt and facing up to your decisions. <br/><br/>Jim Carrington is fast establishing himself as an accomplished writer for teens.
