(Kirkus) "The novel's blend of historical drama, the supernatural, and the intricacies of adolescent friendship is a gripping combination." --Publishers Weekly "Hahn clearly knows her apples about writing ghost stories." --Booklist "Another historical and chilling success." --Kirkus Reviews Against the ominous backdrop of the 1918 influenza epidemic, new girl Annie is claimed as best friend by Elsie, the tattletale, liar, and thief of the class.
