(2) 4-6 A girl doesn't know who she is, why she's locked in an attic, or for how long she's been there. Then twelve-year-old Jules--who's always the new kid and longs for permanence--moves in and begins seeing the girl-spirit. Through the characters' alternating perspectives, this ghost story successfully explores its dual plots: one of a young girl who wants to stay where she is; the other of one who wants to move on.
