YA
Four years after her twin brother's death, budding artist Sadie and her family move across the country. Sadie's guilt merges with angst over attending a new school and her inability to paint the ocean. The story veers toward melodrama, but the mystery surrounding Sadie's relationship with her brother (is she seeing a ghost or is it all in her mind?) will sustain readers.
