About This Book

Zoe's grandparents think that Zoe Louise is Zoe's imaginary friend. The truth, however, is that Zoe Louise lived in Zoe's house a century ago, and her ghost has returned to solve a terrible mystery. . . . ‘An eerie and gripping time fantasy. Conrad's spare, vivid prose sustains the suspense, drawing readers inexorably toward a climax as satisfying as it is unexpected.' —SLJ.
