The Ghost of Tillie Jean Cassaway

People said the ghost of a drowned girl roamed the hills. Was this the wild-looking child 11-year-old Hilary and her brother Willy glimpsed in the woods? If not, who could she be? A suspense-filled story where truth is hidden around the bend, in the morning mist or over the mountain. Winner of the South Carolina Children's Book Award.

About the Author

Ellen Harvey Showell grew up in West Virginia. Her mother supported the family as a schoolteacher. She says, "To me, mountain dialect is not bad English--it's another kind of music to the ears." Showell's memories of screaming matches with brothers and sisters inspire her portrayal of scrappy but loving family life. She has a son and a granddaughter and lives in Arlington, Virginia, with her husband John.
