Snow (Little Toller Monographs) door Marcus Sedgwick
This is a beautifully presented and thoughtful little monograph. Always fascinated by snow, Marcus Sedgwick now lives in the Haute Savoie, where snow in winter is a daily reality. He's come to appreciate that there is far more than one kind of snow, and that some of it is 'the wrong kind', getting in the way of the everyday lives of those who are very accustomed to snow of all kinds. He wanders discursively through science, literature, art, and personal anecdote to build up a vivid picture of this fascinating substance which exercises such a grip on our imaginations and our daily lives when we encounter it. A book to read, to savour, and to continue to dip into from time to time.… (meer)
James and his family are on a Yorkshire moor holiday and everything seems wrong as his parents are upset and his older brother isn't talking to him. While on a hike past some ruins, James seems the figure of a girl in white who beckons her to follow him. James does and discovers the truth.
I worked out in the first few pages what was going on - I wonder if my students will be as switched on? SPOILER ALERT : "Think Sixth Sense".

Since every student who ever encountered Frankenstein gets told that it's a metaphor of bad, absent parenting, this novella can't claim any credit for that - for all it's called out as a great overlooked truth. But the book is still an interesting confrontation to the monsters we create - and our responsibility for them, even when they move beyond our control.
Dark and creepy with an interesting past lives plot. A lot of death, but not overly gruesome. I was initially turned off to learn it would fit in a horror genre, but found it to be spooky and interesting without being disturbing. I never really understood why these two people were so deeply connected, but I think the story still held firm.
