The Year of Shadows

by Claire Legrand

First published 2013

Olivia's life is falling apart. Her mother's gone, her father neglects her, and they've moved into the crumbling concert hall he conducts. But Olivia's not alone - four ghosts haunt the halls, and they need her help. If the concert hall is destroyed, they'll be trapped as spirits forever. Olivia must find a way to save the hall and her family, even with the dead depending on her. It's a race against time in this heartfelt, gently gothic tale of a girl finding her own power to overcome the shadows in her life.
