Book of the Week: An Allagash Haunting : The Story of Emile Camile

Today's book of the week was one that I bought when we attended a local library talk. The author, Tim Caverly, is a former Maine State Park Ranger. He has written 14 books about topics related to Maine parks and woodlands. The book I bought is one of his only fiction books, because it was about a ghost. It's written for teenagers, but just the same, I enjoyed it.

It was a short story that followed a family's journey on the Allagash River. When they camped, the daughter had a paranormal experience.
