At sixteen, Chicago girl Penny long ago moved beyond her unreliable tabloid-writer dad's passion for fake-hunting the supernatural. When the aspiring journalist returns to her Michigan hometown to write about economics for her college application, Penny learns her dad's missing; there's also a town-wide amnesia, charred corpses, and mysterious lights in the woods. With a hint of summer romance, this X-Files-like story is worthy of paranormal-mystery shelves.
