Darling Girl's Christmas Egg — Stephen Donald Huff

Black eyeliner, lashes, lips and hair. Ghostly pale skin. This is Darling Girl Jones, orphan.From time to time, she awakens in her academy dorm room to find an ethereal spirit haunting her bed. Never disturbing, always intriguing, such an event is a certain promise of ghoulish adventure and mortal danger. Most girly-girls might scream. Not Darling Girl. Orphaned young and, so, relegated to the care of starchy Miss Jenkins, head-mistress of her all-girls boarding school, Darling is no stranger to hardship and unquiet spirits.Although today is a special day at her Academy because today is Christmas Eve - and that means all-you-can-eat pancakes. With real maple syrup! Of course, Darling Girl's holidays are never so easy and a ghost with a serious problem is certain to spoil her fun!
