The Black Butterfly

(4) YA With her mother off on another nutty ghost-hunting mission, sixteen-year-old Penny reluctantly spends Christmas in a Maine inn. Her resentment toward her neglectful mother is tempered by her growing attraction to the inn owner's son and some paranormal experiences of her own. The narrative is a bit over-stuffed (romance, mysterious ghost sightings, near-death episodes), but the likable characters make it all intriguing.
