YA
Fleeing memories of his father's death, Aidan and his mother relocate from a Boston suburb to his grandmother's Vermont farm. Farm life distracts Aidan, until he discovers that his grandmother hosts troubled spirits straddling life and death. Aidan's discovery launches him on a wild chase for his father's spirit. This story avoids predictability and Aidan's sixteen-year-old moodiness is convincingly realistic.
