Is Abby getting closer to finding the true murderer? Or is someone leading her down a twisted false path? 
   
  “The Deadly Sister is riddled with red herrings and told by an unreliable narrator, which make the surprise ending all the more shocking. Well-drawn characters, realistic dialogue, and suspenseful twists and turns add to the appeal. Teens crave mystery, and this book will suit them just fine.” —School Library Journal (starred review) 
   
  “The page-turning action and the potent relationship between the two sisters will keep teens’ attention right up to the final confession.” —Booklist 
   
  “Let me tell you, The Deadly Sister was so creepily good, I would rather you read it yourself . . . Eliot Schrefer is the author of another thrillingly creepy book—and serious page-turner—The School for Dangerous Girls. The Deadly Sister is a great follow-up and a perfect read-alike.” —ThisGrrlReads

  A children’s poet and an acclaimed illustrator pair “luscious rhymes and an atmospheric eeriness" in this playful tale of neighborhood battle (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

  In this “inventive and affecting” historical young adult novel, a black girl and a white boy are pawns in a magical game between Love and Death (Publishers Weekly). 
   
  Flora and Henry were born a few blocks from each other, innocent of the forces that might keep a white boy and an African American girl apart; years later they meet again and their mutual love of music sparks an even more powerful connection. But what Flora and Henry don’t know is that they are pawns in a game played by the eternal adversaries Love and Death, here brilliantly reimagined as two extremely sympathetic and fascinating characters. Can their hearts and their wills overcome not only their earthly circumstances, but forces that have battled throughout history? In the rainy Seattle of the 1920’s, romance blooms among the jazz clubs, the mansions of the wealthy, and the shanty towns of the poor. But what is more powerful: love? Or death? 
   
  “Race, class, fate and choice—they join Love and Death to play their parts in Brockenbrough’s haunting and masterfully orchestrated narrative.” —Kirkus Reviews
