Reviews

[Charlotte · Rating 4 out of 5]

a lovely read--a lonely girl from an isolated farm starting school and making friends, one of whom (maybe?) is a ghost child in the house she's boarding at during the week. So happy to come here to Goodreads and see the #1 in the title! Looking forward to more.

Half ghost story, half school story. A lovely read.
