Book Description
From the author of Some Kind of Animal comes a wildly unique story about an invisible girl struggling to see herself in a world obsessed with appearances. Pie is the ghost in your house. She is not dead, she is invisible. The way she looks changes depending on what is behind her. A girl of glass. A girl who is a window. If she stands in front of floral wallpaper she is full of roses. For Pie’s entire life it’s been Pie and her mother. Just the two of them, traveling across America. They have slept in trains, in mattress stores, and on the bare ground. They have probably slept in your house. But Pie is lonely. And now, at seventeen, her mother’s given her a gift. The choice of the next city they will go to. And Pie knows exactly where she wants to go. Pittsburgh—where she fell in love with a girl who she plans to find once again. And this time she will reveal herself. Only how can anyone love an invisible girl? A magnificent story of love, and friendship, and learning to see yourself in a world based on appearances, I Am the Ghost in Your House is a brilliant reflection on the importance of how much more there is to our world than what meets the eye.

Goodnight Stranger

Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Shirley Jackson Award Finalist: A “deeply compelling” literary thriller about two siblings and a man who could be the brother they never knew (George Saunders, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo). Lydia and Lucas Moore are in their late twenties when a stranger enters their small world on Wolf Island. Lydia, the responsible sister, has cared for her pathologically shy brother ever since their mom’s death a decade before. They live, comfortable yet confined, in their family house by the sea, shadowed by events from their childhood. When Lydia sees the stranger step off the ferry, she feels an immediate connection. Lucas is convinced the man, Cole Anthony, is the reincarnation of their brother, who died as a baby. Cole knows their mannerisms, their home, the topography of the island—what else could that mean? Lydia is doubtful, but she can’t deny she is drawn to his magnetism, his energy, and his warmth. To discover the truth about Cole, Lydia must finally face her anxiety about leaving the island, and summon the strength to challenge Cole’s grip on her family’s past and her brother. “One of the best literary thrillers you’ll read this year.” —Cosmopolitan “Gault finesses the mechanics of her puzzle . . . an intriguing subtext about the infantilizing hazards of familial devotion.” —The New York Times Book Review “Taut, evocative . . . shows us what binds us to places and what sets us free.” —The Boston Globe “Quietly chilling . . . A suspenseful meditation on the many ways in which the past, consciously or not, shapes the present, the novel flirts with fantasy but ultimately stays grounded in the elemental realities of wind, tides, and the eroding foundations of memory.” —Booklist “Reminds me of Karen Russell, Donna Tartt, Gillian Flynn, and Marilynne Robinson all at once . . . a monster debut.” —Daniel Torday, author of The Last Flight of Poxl West Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Compelling period fiction for 9+ readers from the Waterstones Children's Prize shortlisted Helen Peters. Evie couldn't be angrier with her mother. She's only gone and got married again and has flown off on honeymoon, sending Evie to stay with a godmother she's never even met in an old, creaky house in the middle of nowhere. It is all monumentally unfair. But on the first night, Evie sees a strange, ghostly figure at the window. Spooked, she flees from the room, feeling oddly disembodied as she does so. Out in the corridor, it's 1814 and Evie finds herself dressed as a housemaid. She's certain she's gone back in time for a reason. A terrible injustice needs to be fixed. But there's a housekeeper barking orders, a bad-tempered master to avoid, and the chamber pots won't empty themselves. It's going to take all Evie's cunning to fix things in the past so that nothing will break apart in the future... Absorbing, brilliant storytelling from the author of The Secret Hen House Theatre, The Farm Beneath the Water, Anna at War and The Jasmine Green Series for younger readers.

Ghost Cat
Author: Kevan Atteberry
Publisher: Holiday House
ISBN: 0823442837
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
There is a ghost in my house. I've only seen it out of the corner of my eye, but I think it is a cat, says a little boy in this comforting tale of love and loss. There's something oddly familiar about this ghost cat--it does lots of things that remind the boy of the cat he used to have. The boy's not sure why the ghost cat never stays for more than a few moments, or why the ghost cat has visited him in the first place. He follows the ghost cat all over his house, until finally it leads him to something new and wonderful. Bestselling author/illustrator Kevan Atteberry's artwork and story strike a perfect balance of evocative and haunting, as well as warm and hugely comforting to anyone struggling to cope with a loss. With a few carefully chosen words and simple, expressive illustrations, Ghost Cat captures both the poignancy of losing a pet and the importance of moving on without erasing or forgetting what came before.
