Her first novel, The Blood Lie, won the Simon Wiesenthal Children's Book Award, was silver medalist for the Sydney Taylor Book Award, and was an ALA 2012 Best Book for Young Adults. Shirley Reva Vernick is rapidly becoming the new hot item in young adult fiction. It's a race for her life, her first love, and her sanity. Then maybe this could still be a vacation. If only George were the tiniest bit open to believing. If only Ghost Girl didn't want Penny dead. Until, that is, she discovers two very real apparitions which only she can see…and meets George, the handsome son of the inn's owner…and crashes into some staggering family secrets. Penny most definitely does not believe in spirits. This "vacation" is the brainchild of Penny's flaky mother, who's on the other side of the country hunting ghosts. Penny is furious, and who can blame her? She has to spend Christmas break alone at the Black Butterfly, an old inn at the coldest, bleakest edge of Americathe coast of Maine.
