YA
Annie, a ghost in limbo between the present day and her mid-nineteenth-century past, recruits NYU student Wes--an aspiring documentarian with "the sight"--to help her uncover the connections between the Erie Canal, slavery, a mysterious 1825 barge explosion, and her family. Despite thinly constructed relationships, the pair's detective work proves entertaining, and the well-placed twists are rewarding.

YA
The girls at St. Joan's Academy are inexplicably falling sick with strange tics and symptoms. As a media maelstrom focuses on the Mystery Illness, Colleen Rowley struggles to graduate valedictorian and complete college applications. This riveting, complex novel transposes the events of The Crucible onto a modern-day setting and weaves a powerful mystery that will keep readers invested until the cryptic ending.
