Despite it not being the ghostly tale I imagined, I found myself somewhat obsessed with it, in part because of a major plot point (which I won't give away) that didn't make much sense in 1986 but surely did when the book was first released in 1967.Īnother reason I was obsessed is that, as I read it, I knew that this book had obviously been made into the 1979 ABC Afterschool Special "The Terrible Secret" starring Michael Biehn, which played in heavy rotation in reruns on summer weekends well into the 1980s. Haunted Summer is not about hauntings at all, but about a teenage girl who gets involved in a hit-and-run accident at the beginning of her summer vacation, and her struggle with the fallout. Some of Hope Dahle Jordan's books were available through Scholastic when they were first published in the 1960s and early 1970s, so I have to assume this 1981 reprint was as well. It must have been about 1986 when I bought this book based entirely on the title, though I'm not sure where I got a copy of it. ![]() For several years starting in grade school and going through to junior high, I read all the books I could find that were about haunted. ![]()
