English Summary/英文概要: Murderous ghosts and buried family secrets threaten young Eleanor and Alice Roosevelt in this thrilling middle-grade novel that puts a supernatural spin on alternate history.

It’s 1898 in New York City and ghosts exist among humans.

When an unusual spirit takes up residence at the Roosevelt house, thirteen-year-old Eleanor and fourteen-year-old Alice are suspicious. The cousins don’t get along, but they know something is not right. This ghost is more than a pesky nuisance. The authorities claim he’s safe to be around, even as his mischievous behavior grows stranger and more menacing. It’s almost like he wants to scare the Roosevelts out of their home - and no one seems to care!

Meanwhile, Eleanor and Alice discover a dangerous ghost in the house where Alice was born and her mother died. Is someone else haunting the family?

Introverted Eleanor and unruly Alice develop an unlikely friendship as they explore the family’s dark, complicated history. It’s up to them to destroy both ghosts and come to terms with their family’s losses.

Told from alternating perspectives, thrills and chills abound in Dianne K. Salerni’s imaginative novel about a legendary family and the ghosts that haunt their secrets.

A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection


Chinese Summary/中文概要: 凶残的鬼魂和埋藏在地下的家庭秘密威胁着年轻的埃莉诺和爱丽丝•罗斯福在这部惊心动魄的中级小说,把一个超自然的旋转交替成历史。

1898年的纽约,鬼魂存在于人类之中。

当一个不寻常的鬼魂在罗斯福大厦居住时,13岁的埃莉诺和14岁的爱丽丝都起了疑心。她们俩相处不好,但她们知道有些事情不对劲。这个鬼可不只是个讨厌的讨厌鬼。当局声称他在身边是安全的,尽管他的恶作剧行为越来越离奇,越来越具有威胁性。就好像他想把公鸡赶出家门似的——似乎没人在乎!

与此同时,埃莉诺和爱丽丝在爱丽丝出生和母亲去世的房子里发现了一个危险的鬼魂。家里还闹鬼吗?

内向的埃莉诺和不守规矩的爱丽丝在探索家族黑暗复杂的历史时建立了一种不太可能的友谊。她们有责任消灭这两个鬼魂,并接受她们家庭的损失。

从交替的视角推动,黛安娜充满了激动和寒意。萨勒尼的富有想象力的小说,讲述了一个传奇的家庭和鬼魂出没的秘密。

初级图书馆公会金本位评选。(WYL)


Awards/获奖情况: 来自学校图书馆杂志,13岁的埃莉诺•罗斯福和她14岁的表妹爱丽丝完全不同。埃莉诺是务实和温顺,而爱丽丝是鲁莽。在1898年纽约城的另一个版本中,鬼魂绝对是真实的,鬼魂是生活中公认的一部分。当一个萦绕在家中爆发的女孩心爱的阿姨拜伊,她们决心克服他们的分歧和团队调查,并希望消除幽灵。

她们的侦查导致了一个令人震惊的发现,迫使他们直面家族鬼魂,无论是字面上的还是比喻上的。罗斯福家族以其许多著名的、超凡脱俗的人物而闻名,萨勒尼将这些极具魅力的女性人物集中在一起,这让人耳目一新。但故事情节取决于西奥多•罗斯福的母亲和第一任妻子死亡的真实情况的改变,这一悲剧在作为鬼故事重述时显得有些小气。

然而,与鬼魂有关的超自然现象令人心寒,主人公的勇敢是不可否认的。《总统历史》的粉丝可能会欣赏这部小说,暗示埃莉诺和富兰克林之间正在萌芽的浪漫,但真正的历史爱好者可能会对萨勒尼偏离事实的行为感到沮丧。这是一个独特的前提,并不能完全发挥它的潜力,尽管它可能会吸引历史小说和鬼故事的狂热粉丝。图书馆期刊有限责任公司,媒体资源公司的全资子公司。不允许再分配。

From School Library Journal

Gr 4-7-Thirteen-year-old Eleanor Roosevelt and her 14-year-old cousin Alice could not be more different. Eleanor is practical and meek, while Alice is reckless and brash. And in this alternate version of 1898 New York City, ghosts are definitely real, and hauntings are an accepted part of life. When a haunting "erupts" in the home of the girls’ beloved Aunt Bye, they resolve to overcome their differences and team up to investigate and hopefully eradicate the ghost. Their sleuthing leads to a shocking discovery that forces them to confront family ghosts, both literally and figuratively. The Roosevelt family is known for its many celebrated, larger-than-life personalities, and it is refreshing that Salerni centers these charismatic female characters. But the plot hinges on the alteration of the true circumstances of the deaths of Theodore Roosevelt’s mother and first wife, a tragedy that is somewhat cheapened when retold as a ghost story. Nevertheless, the supernatural phenomena associated with the haunting are chilling, and the protagonists’ plucky bravery is undeniable. Fans of presidential history will likely appreciate the novel’s hint at a budding romance between Eleanor and Franklin, but true history buffs may be dismayed by Salerni’s deviation from the truth. VERDICT A unique premise that doesn’t quite live up to its potential, though it may appeal to ardent fans of historical fiction and ghost stories.-Dana West, Roosevelt H.S., Seattleα(c) Copyright 2011.
