YA
Rilla's father has died suddenly, so it's up to her to keep the family's fishing legacy alive. While out lobstering, high-school graduate Rilla meets university student Sam as he excavates a nearby island. The island's secret past leads to Rilla's being haunted. Parker skillfully immerses the reader in coastal-Maine culture and history, with the supernatural element adding danger and urgency to the narrative.
