--Jackie has just moved into a new house in Nelson, B.C. Canada, and she is miserable. Not only is her wallpaper ugly, but she doesn't seem to be making friends correctly at school. Her depression disappears after she discovers a box of Christmas and birthday cards from sixteen years in the late 19th century. Then, she meets Ellen, a so-called "memory" - not ghost - of a girl who seems to be real but also seems more like a spirit. As time goes by, Ellen's nightly visits seem to come farther and farther apart, with Ellen significantly older each time. What is going on? Who is Ellen? And what is her connection to the box of cards? --Intriguing, nicely written, and satisfying, this is one book which will not disappoint. A real favourite of mine. --Marisa
