Untreed Reads discussion

Some books draw you in and won't let go:

I opened it to glance at the first paragraph and I kept reading through to the end. It is that sort of book. It draws the reader straight in and there’s no escape.

Getting Back to Normal by Marilyn Levinson:

Sixth-grader Vannie Taylor’s mom has just died. Her father, completely lost without his wife, brings Vannie and her younger brother to live in a dismal cottage on the estate where he manages craft fairs, dinners, and other events. When strange events start happening around the estate, Vannie decides to investigate, and soon discovers a ghost who wants her to help him make amends for something in his past. Vannie’s life is starting to get back to normal, but in a way she’s never imagined.

Recommended for grades 6-8.
