"A fast-paced and unique mystery..."
Everyone knows the legend Greene Island is cursed. 17-yr-old Hardy Vance doesn t care about curses. All he wants to do is graduate from high school and head to college on the mainland. But Hardy has a knack for finding trouble. When he gets stuck doing community service with a girl that has a secret, their lives quickly become entwined in a murder mystery that leads straight back into the island s dark past and the dreaded Curse of Viola. It's up to Hardy and the supernatural abilities of his friends to uncover the horrible truth using the only clue left behind. A dandelion seed. Dandelion on Fire is a new addition to the great magical realism of William Ritter and Robert Beatty.
