The Other Side of Dark

The Other Side of Dark by Sarah Smith

Katie Mullen has had too much death in her life--her dad, her mom, the neighbor boy who died in the 1800s... Ghosts haunt her every step--so much that sometimes it is hard to pick out what is real and what is a hallucination. While others would likely cry or scream under the circumstances, Katie draws. Everyone thinks she’s crazy, even she thinks she’s crazy. But she never lets anyone close enough to find out why… at least she didn’t before Law asked her out for coffee one fateful day. Although Katie is too afraid to ask these ghosts questions or hear their secrets, Law is not. In fact, Katie is just what he was searching for--a road into the past. Together they will begin to uncover the truth about themselves, their ancestry and a secret from Boston’s history that is buried so deep is it difficult to see Katie escaping from that which she fears--death.

Recommended enthusiastically by YA authors such as Holly Black and Cassandra Clare, this eclectic novel will have you on the edge of your seat! It is a great teen mystery based on real people and a true Boston secret.
