In "Deep and Dark and Dangerous" by Mary Downing Hahn, the story follows twelve-year-old Ali who is sent to spend the summer with her aunt and cousin at a secluded lake house. There, she discovers a mysterious photograph of a girl she doesn't recognize, which leads her to uncover dark family secrets. As Ali explores the lake, she encounters an eerie, ghostly presence that seems tied to the past. Tension builds as she grapples with the chilling memories and the haunting atmosphere, ultimately facing the truth about the girl in the photograph and the dangers lurking beneath the surface.
