title: Summer of the Shaman
author: Ross, W.E.D.
description: Out of the past a dark curse threatens her dreams… her life.
  
  The Shaman Tree
  Stretches its twisted branches like malformed, threatening claws…
  
  High on a bluff over the river, the gnarled forbidding elm shadows the Vermont camp Jean Cross has just bought. Rumor has it that ten years ago, a boy fell to his death from a platform set in its branches. Now, as Jean has the platform taken down, an Indian warns her that the land is cursed -- and a worker drives to his death over the cliff…
  
  Coincidence? Bad luck? Jean would like to think so. But then the students and counselors arrive, and no one is safe from the curse of the Shaman…except perhaps the devilish campers David and Lisa…both daring, both precocious -- both ready to sign a pact with Satan?
  
  Jean's summer of success has become the Summer of the Shaman
