Haunted

Lightning Strikes

by Lorraine Orman

Georgia hates staying at her uncle's farm, mainly because her cousin and younger brother are ganging up on her and bullying her. So when she meets a mysterious girl called Lily in an old derelict homestead, she's happy to make friends. But Lily does some very strange things, and it's only when she sets a fire and tries to burn Georgia and her brother that Georgia realises what Lily is - a troubled, lonely, and possibly murderous ghost. How will Georgia cope with this dangerous situation?
