Hunt for the Seventh

When Jim moves to ancient Minerva Hall, he encounters the ghosts of six children, all urging him to find the seventh child. They leave Jim cryptic clues that point to a dark, ancient prophecy that only he can stop from being fulfilled. Jim turns to Einstein, a brilliant autistic boy who lives at the Hall. If anyone can help Jim, Einstein can. But the boy, who speaks in riddles, proves to be as mysterious as the dead children. Time is running out; if Jim doesn’t figure out the clues, innocent people will die. Christine Morton-Shaw has linked ancient rites with modern mystery to create a chilling, suspenseful tale that will keep readers guessing to the very end.
