The Mysterious Mummer

(4) 4-6 Joey travels to Newfoundland to spend Christmas with Aunt Corinne, who is mourning the recent death of her husband. When a disguised "mummer" shows up at Aunt Corinne's house, the thirteen-year-old narrator finds himself in a life-or-death struggle with the supernatural. The story begins promisingly but becomes increasingly surreal before reaching an abrupt conclusion. The concept of mummery may not be sufficiently explained for many readers.
