Description:

Judy's beloved Great Grandmother is found dead. She was very old, but Judy is suspicious about her death. Was it someone's fault? Was it even murder?

Judy is fifteen and already she is showing talent as a ventriloquist. But her suspicions about her Great Grans death begin to darken and change the world around her, as she struggles to find out the truth. Even her friendship with Terry, her first real boyfriend, suffers from the stresses which develop as a consequence. Against a background of mounting suspense and tension, Judy's niceness, honesty, and good sense shine out, and her changing awareness of her parents, her friends and herself is sensitively described. Immensely readable and thought provoking the story moves to a dramatic climax as Judy work through her grief and eventually comers to a new understanding of herself through her experiences.
