This may be my favorite of the Truman nominees this
year. It was a delightful blend of slice of life and fantasy. The
story is about a young lady who discovers on her 13th Halloween that she gets
premonitions of untimely deaths of those about whom she cares. Her
eccentric grandma has shared the same secret since she was 13 and guides her in
the fine (and thrilling) art of preventing these deaths. I'm not giving
anything away except that I love how some Arthurian legend gets woven into this
story. I highly recommend this book for kids 4th grade and up, and for
adults who enjoy a good piece of Juvenile literature.
