Experience love and loss in this enchanting sea mystery from Natalie Babbitt, The Eyes of the Amaryllis.

But someone else is waiting, too, and watching her, a man called Seward. Into this haunted situation comes Jenny, the widow's granddaughter. The three of them, Gran, Jenny, and Seward, are drawn into a kind of deadly game with one another and with the sea, a game that only the sea knows how to win.
