Synopsis
A mysterious girl, dubbed The Watcher, spins tales of rescue from her lonely perch above the beach. She closely observes the actions of two people she has never met: a fourteen-year-old boy whose family seems perfect and a handsome eighteen-year-old lifeguard. Their lives become intertwined -- and their troubling truths are revealed.

About the Author
James Howe is the author of more than seventy books for young
readers, including the popular and award-winning series about Bunnicula
and his friends. Among his other books are the Pinky and Rex series,
The Misfits, Totally Joe, and the Sebastian Barth mysteries.
James did not enjoy camping when he was a boy, but he did always wish he
had a pet skunk. He still does wish this at times, but for the most part
he's happy with the dog and two cats who share his home in New York State.
James Howe says:
"Back in the Olden Days, before there were such things as cable television
or DVDs, I loved staying up late at night to watch old horror movies on TV.
My favorites were the ones about hollow-eyed vampires and torch-bearing
peasants, or those with mad scientists whose accents fell somewhere
between Upper Mongolia and the Bronx. Nighty-Nightmare came out of
the affection I still feel for those movies and the laughs -- along with
the chills -- they gave me. Chester's story of how Bunnicula traveled from
Transylvania to America is a spoof of just about every old horror movie
I ever saw!"
