Peculiar Night of the Blue Heart

From New York Times bestselling author Lauren DeStefano comes a gorgeous tale of friendship found and fought for against a haunting danger. It''s just right for fans of Serafina and the Black Cloak.

Lionel is a wild boy, who doesn''t much like to be around other people. He''d rather be a purring cat or a wolf stalking the woods.

Marybeth is a nice girl. She doesn''t need to be told to comb her hair or brush her teeth, and she''s kind to everyone at the orphanage . . . Lionel most of all.

Different though they are, Lionel and Marybeth are best friends in a world that has forgotten about them. So when a mysterious blue spirit possesses Marybeth-and starts to take control-they know they must stop it before the real Marybeth fades away forever.
