One Girl, Two Worlds, 17 Ghosts …
In this award-winning contemporary novel infused with magical realism, ghosts, and Celtic mythology, 12-year-old Bonnie is lonely, angry, and confused. Her mother died, her father remarried, and her new school was a disaster. She is sent to live with relatives, who homeschool her in a haunted house. There, ancestral ghosts befriend her and guide her on a mystical voyage to the Celtic Otherworld. In that quest, Bonnie must overcome grudges, bullies, and an evil shopkeeper. Lured at midnight into the forbidden attic by a spirit dog and touched with a magic potion, she finds answers to who she is, where she belongs, and why her mother died. Will she accept the challenges presented by her new role in the family, or return to her life as a loser?
