Wintertown / Steve Emond

Evan and Lucy have been best friends forever, but then Lucy moved away when her family broke up. She comes back every Christmas to see her father, and she and Evan pick up where they left off. But this year everything is different. Lucy has come back as Goth Girl and she isn't talking. There's something very wrong. This book grabbed me, and made me keep reading. It's written in an interesting way with the chapters interspersed with parts like a graphic novel. I felt very "bonded" to both the main characters and I loved the ending.

Who would enjoy this? Someone who's willing to take a bit of a risk with a book - it's worth the effort!
