À propos de cet audio

Come travel into the 1930s and through the doors of St. Margaret's School for Girls. The place used to be an almshouse, until its previous occupants burned to death 13 years before. The townsfolk are at a loss as to what started the fire. Some said it was an act of the devil. Some said it was a resident who had too much to drink. The building, miraculously, survived.

When a bag of bones falls on 12-year old Julia, she finds herself thrown into the spirit realm and face to face with house's past residents. Her new neighbors aren't so lively, and some can't even remember their own names. But as Julia soon discovers, there's more to these people than meets the eye. One of these ghosts is not like the others, and Julia must find out quickly why someone had been cut from the town records.

This was not at all what I expected. It was a very strange little story. There was no clear target audience, and I'm not even sure what the age demographic was supposed to be. I feel like maybe it's actually a YA? If not, it should be, because it is exactly the kind of thing I would have loved as a kid. Ghosts, murder, mystery and a happy ending. The protagonist is 12 years old, and she's written in a very believable way, as are the rest of the cast of characters. Her family situation is also quite realistic, unfortunately, but it brings a lot of depth and some pathos to the story. And I'm not going to lie, there were two instances where I felt a lump forming in my throat and my eyes started pricking. At work. Awkward.
This was a case of don't judge a book by its cover (or an audiobook by it's crummy narrator).

surprisingly good
