Sisters of Blood and Spirit

Gr 8 Up—Lark and Wren Noble are twins; one living and the other a ghost existing through her sister after she died at birth. Entering high school in small town New Devon hasn't been easy for Lark with her dead sister tagging along and sometimes taking over her body. Conversations always appear to be one-sided to others, making her look a little unbalanced. With her sister occasionally inhabiting her body, Lark never knows what she will wake up to and often wonders if it would be easier to join her sister in the Shadow Lands, where she lurks with other ghostly characters. When a teenager and his friends are challenged by the restless spirit of a serial killer, they seek the help of Lark and Wren to fight the disturbance. Settings that alternate between the murky Shadow Lands and the drama-filled world of high school keep the pace moving. As the perspective shifts between Wren and Lark, readers will find it easy to follow and enjoy the creepiness of the Shadow Lands. Librarians won't keep this one on the shelves for long.
