![]() ![]() The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "This engrossing combination of historical fiction, ghost story, psychological thriller, and straight-up whodunit moves between genres with stunning ease, maximizing the tropes of each to satisfying effect." ![]() Excellent pacing and deliciously creepy descriptions.†? STARRED REVIEW "Winters deftly combines mystery, ghost story, historical fiction, and romance. STARRED REVIEW "More than anything, this is a story of the breaking point between sanity and madness, delivered in a straightforward and welcoming teen voice." STARRED REVIEW "Winters's masterful debut novel is an impressively researched marriage of the tragedies of wartime, the 1918 flu epidemic, the contemporaneous Spiritualism craze, and a chilling love story and mystery." But what does he want from her?įeaturing haunting archival early-twentieth-century photographs, this is a tense, romantic story set in a past that is eerily like our own time. During her bleakest moment, however, she's forced to rethink her entire way of looking at life and death, for her first love-a boy who died in battle-returns in spirit form. ![]() Sixteen-year-old Mary Shelley Black watches as desperate mourners flock to séances and spirit photographers for comfort, but she herself has never believed in ghosts. Americans roam the streets in gauze masks to ward off the deadly Spanish influenza, and the government ships young men to the front lines of a brutal war, creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion. Â In 1918, the world seems on the verge of apocalypse. ![]()
