YA
Her brother disappears into the swamp bordering their Louisiana town, and Sterling is appalled when people's memories of him vanish, too. With the help of a boy who can resist the swamp's mysterious powers, Sterling draws on old legends and a new courage to defeat the creeping evil. This sinister tale's mix of gothic horror and YA romance wavers between satisfying and peculiar.
