INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Johnson, Emily Rhoads

Write Me If You Dare!

(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Maddie suspects her new pen pal, the oddly anachronistic Pearl, is a ghost. But it's Maddie's compulsive rituals and her correspondence with Pearl that help her cope with her mother's death three years earlier and with her beekeeping father's engagement to a gregarious librarian. Beekeeping information is smoothly integrated into the narrative and helps establish the quiet mood and rural setting.
