INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(2) 4-6 During the Depression, eleven-year-old Tennyson and her sister are shuffled off to live with their aunt in Louisiana. The house, Aigredoux, has a history, and Tennyson is pulled into its drama. Tennyson is a strong protagonist who elicits ready sympathy, but Aigredoux itself is the real star: imbued with a distinct, capricious personality, it stands a mournful witness to days gone.
