"Josie and Alec's story is an unusual ghost tale. Through an odd warp in time, the pair, who both live in the same house 100 years apart, can speak to each other through a Ouija board, the wax cylinders of an old record player, and a cache of letters. As they grow closer, Alec (in 2015) begins to fear that Josie (in 1915) and her younger sister, Cassie, are in danger from their mother. The glamorous Lavinia Clifford is a wealthy spiritualist who communes with the dead. She also keeps her daughters virtual prisoners in their room, and often punishes Cassie cruelly. Alec is shaken when he finds a local grave, engraved simply Clifford, that appears to be a child's. Can he convince Josie that she needs to contact her old governess and escape? Can Alec change the past, and therefore the future? Creepy and intriguing, DeAngelis' middle-grade novel will appeal to readers who enjoy chills as well as puzzles. The Alex Award-winning author of Bones & All (2015) has crafted a definite winner." -- Karen Cruze
