Brian Selznick recommends
 Picture the Dead (2010) Lisa Brown and Adele Griffin "Open Picture the Dead by Adele Griffin and Lisa Brown and step into the rich, nineteenth century scrapbook filled with ghosts, betrayals, murder, and love. A haunting work, beautifully told." |  As Simple as It Seems (2010) Sarah Weeks "Life and death weave together in strange ways one summer for twelve year old Verbena Colter. Sarah Weeks tells her story with warmth, grace, and deep compassion. A stunning novel about life's many complications and how we struggle to grow up, into ourselves." |
