INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Cotter, Charis

The Painting

(2) 4-6 In alternating points of view, twelve-year-olds Annie and Claire narrate how a painting Annie rescues from the attic allows her to time-travel from 2004 Toronto to Claire's home in 1970s Newfoundland. It's evident that there are connections between the girls' lives, but the nature of those connections isn't immediately clear. The emotional tale intertwined with the mystery--involving guilt and grief--makes the puzzle all the more meaningful.
