A great mystery, and in a wonderful setting! Set on the island of Ameland off the coast of Holland, Rikst and her best childhood friend Bas de Jong stumble upon what appears to be a woman who is the reincarnation of the witch Rixt, the island woman who is the subject of an old legend often told on the island. Their search to uncover the truth leads to a confrontation and battle of wits with malicious smugglers. Gripping and fascinating, this book also explores Rikst's emotions and feelings about her family and the boy she likes.

I thought this book was a fasinating book it told of the hardships of the war. I have not read a story that told these details as accuratly as this one. This story is both wonderful and educational i loved it. It also gives the reader a view of how it was like during the war. It was a great find on my part.

i hope u all enjoy this book.
