description: "How soon can you come? Because we need your help. Something ominous is afoot... there are unseen presences about..."That message from his cousins was all that James Gregory Smith, Jr., needed to start packing. When he took the train on that perfectly ordinary afternoon in March he headed straight for a most extraordinary mystery. Suspense mounted and so did the clues as James searched for answers to strange tracks, sounds, and apparitions. Helping were Amanda Little- a girl poet wih a wild imagination and a temperament to match-Obie Little- short on words, long on thought, a born mechanic who knew how to put two and two together-Maggie- a shaggy dog who didn't trust anyone.All were snowbound at Walkaway Hill, an isolated farmhouse, during the longest, whitest, and strangest weekend James had ever spent anywhere!
