Cherish

by Norma Huss

It's the sophomore Local History cemetery visit. Sure, it's almost Halloween, but Kayla has seen that ghost for years. She wants to make the ghost go away, but she shouldn't have touched her hand, because, That’s When Everything Changed.

Kayla finds herself in 1946 as someone else, someone whose name is on an elaborate tombstone. Is she Cherish, or is Cherish her? Is Cherish taking her place?

Fact: Cherish is ruining her life in two centuries. If Kayla doesn't find her way home to her own time and her own body, she will die with Cherish in a few days.

Question: Do cell phone texts span the centuries? And, if they do, will Kayla's friends believe her?

About the author

Norma threw herself into a passion for writing cozy mysteries. She was a member of Penn Writers, Sisters in Crime, and the Willow Valley Communities’ Writer’s Group. She expanded into blog writing for her own website where she adopted the nickname, “The Grandma Moses of Mystery.” The original Grandma Moses was about 80 years old when she had the first big showing of her folk art. Similarly, Norma’s first mystery, “Yesterday’s Body,” was published just before she turned 80. By age 90 she had published several more mysteries and a book of ten short stories. She also wrote a non-fiction retelling of her father’s true-life adventures in 1920’s Alaska.

Not my cup of tea

O.k., but in the Kindle it was a pain keeping track of who was writing. Overall it was just okay, not as good as I expected.

I received CHERISH by Norma Huss as a free giveeaway. This book is a fun ghost story for ages 11-14.
