The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney


The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney
by Suzanne Harper
.
Sparrow's life has always been a little strange. As the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter in a family of psychics and mediums, it has always been believed that she will be the most powerful of her kind. But all Sparrow wants to be is normal.
.
She doesn't want to hold seances. She doesn't want to talk to spirits. She doesn't want to help those who have passed on complete their unfinished business. She also doesn't want to live in a house with baboon skulls in the front yard, strange symbols painted everywhere, and the bodies of her grandmother's four dead husbands in the back.
.
So all her life, Sparrow's been hiding the terrible truth: not only does she see, hear, and speak to ghosts every day, she also doesn't need any special tricks to do it. While her mother and sisters all have to focus hard to get a reading, Sparrow can just look over and see the dead any time, day or night.
.
And now, all of her hiding may have to come to an end. There's a very cute boy in her class and he has a very dead boy haunting him.
.
Will Sparrow have the strength to tell the truth and admit who she is? Or will she keep on hiding and force the ghost to remain in limbo forever?
