The Year of Shadows

The Year of Shadows

Olivia wants a new lifeâ€”and her wish might be granted by the unlikeliest allies. A heartfelt, gently Gothic novel from Claire Legrand that School Library Journal calls a â€œnot-too-scary ghost story.â€

Olivia Stellatella is having a rough year.

Her motherâ€™s left, her neglectful fatherâ€”the maestro of a failing orchestraâ€”has moved her and her grandmother into the cityâ€™s dark, broken-down concert hall to save money, and her only friend is Igor, an ornery stray cat.

Just when she thinks life couldnâ€™t get any weirder, she meets four ghosts who haunt the hall. They need Oliviaâ€™s helpâ€”if the hall is torn down, theyâ€™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 livingâ€¦and soon itâ€™s not just the concert hall that needs saving.
