Fifteen-year-old Paul Shackleford experiences an eye-opening and transformative summer living and working on the central Virginia farm belonging to a distant relative, where everyone seems to be haunted by the death of a much-loved and admired farmhand the year before. Paul Shackleford has gotten himself into trouble, and now he’s being sent away to a relative’s farm in the middle of nowhere. He thinks he’s in for the worst summer of his life - until he discovers a haunting mystery and a ghost with a familiar face. With the help of a dog named Einstein and a beautiful girl named Rebecca, Paul unearths the truth behind the hole in this isolated world. What he learns will change him forever.
