Publisher Description: In this re-imagined version of EP Laferriere's 2017 novella, Melissa Macdonnel is a fourteen year old high schooler, living in Coldwater, Massachusetts. When Melissa and her best friend Ryanne have the chance to participate in a big swim tournament, everything seems to be going their way. Or it does, until tragedy strikes. A terrible swimming accident leaves Ryanne stuck in a hospital for a week, and Melissa and her mother at a nearby hotel. Bored, Melissa begins wandering around the town near the hospital. One day, she walks into a branch of the Massachusetts' Historical Society. While looking into the history of her family, she stumbles upon a mystery of the past. Magically, Melissa finds herself living with the Macdonnel family of 17th century Coldwater. Melissa meets the mystery--Hazel Macdonnel--and lives by her side through the hardest time of Hazel's life. Suspicious events cause Hazel to be accused of witchcraft--by the boy who loves her. With a little love, anger, and tears along the way, Melissa manages to get back home, now knowing the hidden truth about her family. |
