Next door, lives Rose, whose family has moved to the house formerly owned by her grandmother only recently. The only thing that keeps her going is her passion for ghost books and possibly meeting a ghost in person, some day. She feels no one pays her any attention and the final straw is having to share her room with Susie, a baby.
Polly is part of a bustling family, her father is a minister, her mother is a do-gooder of the first order, filling the home with foster children to supplement Polly, her older sister and the horrors, her twin 8 year old brothers. Two 12 year old girls are bemoaning their separate existences. The Swallow by Charis Cotter is one of those books. I had the privilege of reading it through NetGalley (thank you, NetGalley!) It is one of my favorite books of the year!
Sometimes the Recommender comes across a book that is a complete surprise and such a gem that you just want to get everyone you know to read it.
