A black-eyed ghost haunts the toilets in Holly's school. She appears if you look in the mirror and blink three times. Holly tries it and soon wishes she hadn't. Watch out. The black-eyed girl might be right behind you. Dark Reads are very short novels of just 600 words, written specifically to appeal to struggling teenage readers with a very low reading age of 6-7.
