Winner, Scott O\'Dell Award for Historical Fiction! The New York Times bestselling author of Dread Nation makes her middle grade debut with a sweeping tale of the Ghosts of our past that won\'t stay buried, starring an unforgettable girl named Ophie.
And as Ophie forms a friendship with one spirit whose life ended suddenly and unjustly, she wonders if she might be able to help--even as she comes to realize that Daffodil Manor may hold more secrets than she bargained for..
Ghosts who have their own loves and hatreds and desires, Ghosts who have wronged others and Ghosts who have themselves been wronged.
Daffodil Manor, like the wealthy Caruthers family who owns it, is haunted by memories and prejudices of the past--and, as Ophie discovers, Ghosts as well.
In the hopes of earning enough money to get their own place, Mama has gotten Ophie a job as a maid in the same old manor house where she works.
Now Ophie and her mother are living in Pittsburgh with relatives they barely know.
Which was the same night that Ophie learned she can see ghosts.
But that was before the night in November 1922, and the cruel act that took her home and her father from her.
Ophelia Harrison used to live in a small house in the Georgia countryside.
