Summary: When can we read T. Barrett's next book of fiction?
Review: Tracy Barrett's writing skills are brought to the fore in this can't-put-it-down story in which 12-year-old Ariadne, displaced from her cherished hometown and best friend to a new town, is forced to break old molds and dear habits to get in touch with her new world. Much of this is thanks to a girl named May, who though old-fashioned serves as catalyst to spur Ariadne into young womanhood. It is endearing to read about this character, Ariadne, part of a real, vibrant 21st-century world, and feel her open her mind to the past, and to mystery, and to fear. Readers will recognize little brothers, parents, and the lure of solitary thought. Everyone will find something to enjoy.

Review: Wow! Tracy Barrett has outdone herself in this latest book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it before giving it to my children. It was just scary enough without being bonechilling -- a perfect blend for young adults. The lessons taught about forming new friendships while keeping old ones were great. Enjoyable enough for a grownup to read with can't put it down suspense. I think any young adult would enjoy, even boys!
