183 pages in the 20 th anniversary paperback. This great tale of suspense from noted Canadian author Margaret Buffie will have you wondering “who is Frances Rain?” with Lizzie and Alex until the very end. What are they trying to tell her? Why does she feel this strange connection to the island? When she and Alex start digging into the history of the island and the area’s gold rush days, the mystery becomes stranger than they ever could have imagined. When she finds an old pair of glasses that might have belonged to a woman prospector there, she begins to see ghosts or maybe visions of the past. Of course, 15 year old Lizzie decides to escape the tension at the lodge and explore Rain Island on her own. It contains teaching suggestions, vocabulary for each chapter and 50 extension activities from which the students can choose to demonstrate learning. This novel is also published under the title of 'The Haunting of Frances Rain'.

But Evan is awful to their stepdad, Mom’s good mood has vanished, and Gran tells Lizzie to stay away from Rain Island. This resource accompanies the novel Who is Frances Rain written by Margaret Buffie. Their across-the-lake neighbors are still the same, except 16 year old Alex has grown tall, towering over Lizzie and her big brother Evan. In this 20th-anniverary edition of the novel by Margaret Buffie, its going to be a long, hot summer for 15-year-old Lizzie. Gran’s old lodge is the same, with board games for everyone and plenty of blueberry pie. Lizzie is sure this summer will be awful - the Canadian gold rush country, all lakes and wilderness, was the kids’ special place with their grandmother, so why did Mom suddenly want to leave her law office and bring their new stepdad here for the summer?
