Deep and Dark and Dangerous is by Mary Downing Hahn. Ali goes to Sycamore Lake with her artist aunt Dulcie to babysit her young daughter, Emma, while Dulcie paints. While there they meet a girl named Sissy. Ali is frightened by her influence on Emma. Sissy is mean and spiteful, and a....ghost. How did Sissy die? Was she really killed by Ali and Emma's mothers? This is one of Hahn's creepier tales. It is also a fantasy about how secrets can destroy lives in more ways than one.
