(2) 4-6 Ariadne unhappily moves to a small college town in Tennessee in seventh grade. She meets a sympathetic, but elusive, friend--one May Butler, who turns out to be a ghost from the late 1800s. Several familiar themes converge in this story of a vulnerable girl with contacts in another world and a ghost who wishes to return to where she belongs. The novel offers the diversion demanded by rainy days, long weekends, and summertime.
