(2) 4-6 A group of fifth graders goes ghost-hunting and learns about the Spanish influenza after new-kid Henry reveals that his house is haunted. Narrator Barbara Anne takes charge of solving the mystery of young ghost Edgar, leading to answers (and minor disasters). Clever turns of phrase and Barbara Anne's limited sense of self-awareness make for an amusing narrative, while depictions of Edgar's presence deliver age-appropriate chills.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Júlia Sardà. A mother recounts a story to her daughter about twin sisters: beautiful, perfect Arabella and sullen, unfavored Henrietta. They're close, despite unequal treatment, until a big fight drives them apart. Henrietta, sent to live with their peculiar great-aunt, is essentially forgotten by their cold parents, but not by Arabella, who sets out to find her. Black-and-white illustrations enhance this quirky, darkly humorous story.
