“A haunting and ethereal tale in the vein of Cornelia Funke's
The Thief Lord (2002). Nods to Edgar Allan Poe make it atmospheric,
and Olive herself, a lonely heroine with ghosts in her past, gives
it soul.” —Booklist, Starred Review
"This dark, grief-filled tale is reminiscent of Stephen King's It
with a dash of Cirque du Soleil." Kirkus Reviews
"Schusterman’s language is haunting and elegant, filling the
narrative with prose poems that float like ghosts themselves."
—School Library Journal
“Equal parts heart and bone-deep creepiness.” —Claire Legrand,
author of The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls
