Synopsis

A teen suspects her orphaned cousin may be a witch in this YA horror classic by the bestselling author of I Know What You Did Last Summer. The basis for the 1978 Wes Craven film. "Filled with suspense and questions about the nature of evil in the world around us, Summer of Fear will cast a spell over both teens and adults."—School Library Journal From the moment Rachel's family takes in her orphaned cousin Julia, strange things start to happen. Rachel grows suspicious but soon finds herself alienated from her own life. Julia seems to have enchanted everyone to turn against her, leaving Rachel on her own to try and prove that Julia is a witch. One thing about Julia is certain—she is not who she says she is, and Rachel's family is in grave danger.
