The Year of Shadows by Claire Legrand, August 27, 2013. Published by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers.
Olivia wants a new life, and it might take ghosts to get it. A heartfelt, gently Gothic novel from Claire Legrand.
Olivia Stellatella is having a rough year.
Her mother's left; her neglectful father, the maestro of a failing orchestra, has moved her and her grandmother into the city's dark, broken-down concert hall to save money, and her only friend is Igor, an ornery stray cat.
Just when she thinks life couldn't get any weirder, she meets four ghosts who haunt the hall. They need Olivia's help; if the hall is torn down, they'll be stuck as ghosts forever, never able to move on.
Olivia has to do the impossible for her shadowy new friends: save the concert hall. But helping the dead has powerful consequences for the living; and soon it's not just the concert hall that needs saving.
Why: It's sounds interesting and, so far, I've really enjoyed all of Claire Legrands books so of course I'm excited to give
The Year of Shadows a chance. Now to convince my library to purchase a copy for everyone, but firstly mine, reading pleasure.
