Night of the Fireflies
Book 4 of the Summerhill Secrets series
144 pages · First published 1995
Summer evenings filled with fireflies become the backdrop for a mystery that interrupts Merry Hanson’s ordinary life with friends and family. Something she sees or learns at night leads her to questions that adults may not initially recognize as important. Merry’s persistence reflects both curiosity and a growing sense of responsibility toward people who may be in trouble. Beverly Lewis uses the gentle atmosphere of SummerHill for Christian YA suspense in which the beauty of a familiar summer night contrasts with secrets that emerge after dark.
