October Moon (Other World)

October Moon (Other World)

by Michael Scott (Author)

Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Rachel Stone and her family move into historic Seasonstown House. Then the terror begins - fires, intruders who leave no footprints, the frenzied destruction of the library. Who, or what, wants the Stones out . The police suspect terrorists, but is it something far more sinister?

When Rachel tries to discover the truth she gets caught up in a wild and dangerous plot. At Hallowe'en, nightmare becomes reality, when the unimaginable horror of an ancient curse comes to claim the family of Seasonstown House - and all that stands in its way is Rachel and a green-eyed wolf.
