Jane-Emily — Patricia Clapp

Emily was a selfish, willful, hateful child who died before her thirteenth birthday. But that was a long time ago.

Jane is nine years old and an orphan when she and her young Aunt Louisa come to spend the summer at Jane's grandmother's house, a large, mysterious mansion in Massachusetts. Then one day . . . Jane stares into a reflecting ball in the garden -- and the face that looks back at her is not her own.

Many years earlier, a child of rage and malevolence lived in this place. And she never left. Now Emily has dark plans for little Jane -- a blood-chilling purpose that Louisa, just a girl herself, must battle with all her heart, soul, and spirit . . . or she will lose her innocent, helpless niece forever.

YOUN JANE CANFIELD goes to spend the summer in the large, dark mansion of her grandmother in Lynn, Massachusetts. From the first, she feels the presence of Emily, the long-dead daughter of Mrs. Canfield. Louisa, Jane's eighteen-year-old aunt and companion, believes that Jane's relationship with the dead and dark-eyed Emily is only the product of a lonely child's imagination. But the evil force becomes too strong and soon Jane is fighting for her life.
