April 14th 2011 Elizabeth Chandler- The Back Door of Midnight Page#41-97 Anna finds her aunt and uncle's house very creepy, and she does some exploring in it. They live on a lake or pond, but for some reason she is very frightned of the dark water. Her aunt is very strange in that she calles her Joanna, which was her birth mothers name that gave her up for adoption. During the night Anna has strage dreams about her uncle and a fire again, she finds this creepy because her uncle died in the car that was on fire. Anna goes to the town sherrif to try to get some answers about her dead uncle. He did not give Anna the answers that she wanted, she decided she would have to try to figure it out on her own. Anna went into town and met Zach Flemming, one of her aunt and uncles neighbors. She was very attracted to him. Anna went into a store and saw that there was a sign for help wanted, she asked for the job and she got it! She came to find out that it was Zach's step-mom that owned the store. When Anna returned home she went out to the pond and saw Zach swimming around, she did nto want to get in so she took the row boat out and acted like she knew what she was doing. Anna overheard Zach and a girl named Erika talking about how it was Zachs job to keep Anna busy, and make it seem like he liked her and just play with her mind. She said this because she has ties to the death of her uncle and she doesent want Anna finding anything out. The novel is starting to devlop a very interesting plot, I think that Anna will try to go indeth about what happened to her uncle and figure the whole thing out. I also think instead of Zach playing her she will play Zach now.

until next time....
