by Sarah Smith

The Other Side of Dark is an intricate mystery that will leave you breathless.” Holly Black, bestselling author of Tithe

There is too much death in Katie Mullen’s life—her mother, her father and now the ghosts. They come to Katie from the other side of dark. People who have died—recently, not so recently, in accidents, as suicide, as tragic pages from the past. When someone dies, their secrets die too. But if a ghost comes back, these secrets can speak again…. And that’s what Law Walker wants, a passage to the past, the key to a secret that will change everything. So what if his dad doesn’t want him dating a white girl? So what if people think Katie is crazy? Together they’re about to uncover a piece of Boston history that is so shocking it was buried centuries ago, and now, nothing will ever seem the same. Get ready to see people—dead and alive—for who they really are.

What a brilliant book! And an amazing way to talk about history, as it is history intertwined with a story made up by the author. Very many harsh scenes, but the story really needs to be told, we should never forget the past, because the only way we can make a better future is if we remember the past, and learn from it's mistakes.
