Publisher: New York: Soho Teen, 2015 (originally published in Australia by Allen and Irwin, 2014)
Annotation: This title turns down historical accuracy in favor of historical fantasy. Set during 1932 against the backdrop of Sydney's Razor gang era, orphan Kelphie and beauty Dymphna, both able to see ghosts, attempt to use this supernatural advantage to survive and thrive in their brutal world. This novel has plenty for readers to sink their teeth into, having a large cast of complex characters, an intricate plot and even winning three separate awards, including Best Horror novel from Aurealis Awards and YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults for 2016.
