From the publisher
Meet a malicious hand puppet that’s as much a part of your body as your hand itself. Attend a school that prepares students not for life, but for death. Witness a boy who lends his baseball glove to a different kid every spring–though he himself died years ago . . . Best-selling author Mary Downing Hahn is at her eerie and unforgettable best in this collection of thrilling, chilling tales, and an afterword reveals sources of the author’s inspiration as well as tips for young writers.
