Description
Enigmatic chiller from the author of Calypso Dreaming.
Whatever spell had been put on her was growing stronger. And suddenly, rather than fear, she felt a rush of burning anger. How dare anyone do this to her! How dare anyone steal her life!
Something is haunting Mardy Watt. It's been in her room, it's fooling her friends and it's upsetting her home life. And the trouble is, nobody realises what is happening except Mardy herself.
Exactly why the Fetch is picking on her, Mardy doesn't know - but she does know that she has to find out, before it takes over and replaces her completely.
