Paperback. Condizione: Fair. From the acclaimed author of The Accident Season comes a gorgeous, twisty story about six teenagers who encounter a spellbook that might stop things from disappearing in their town.

"Reminiscent of a medieval tapestry in its color, complexity, and stylistic texture."--VOYA One stormy summer in a small Irish town, things begin to disappear. It starts with trivial stuff--hair clips, house keys, socks--but soon it escalates to bigger things: a memory, a heart, a classmate. Olive can tell that her best friend, Rose, is different all of a sudden. Rose isn't talking, and Olive starts to worry she's losing her. Then diary pages written by someone named Laurel begin to appear all over town. And Olive meets three mysterious strangers: Ivy, Hazel, and her twin brother, Rowan, secretly squatting in an abandoned housing development. The trio are wild and alluring, but they seem lost too--and like Rose, they're holding tightly to painful secrets. When a tattered, handwritten spellbook falls into the lives of these six teenagers, it changes everything. The spellbook is full of charms to conjure back that which has been lost, and it lists a part for each of them to play in the calling. It might be their best chance to set everything back to rights, but only if they're willing to pay the price. Told in the alternating voices of Olive, Laurel, and Hazel, this story lies at the intersection of the real and the magical, the tragic and the miraculous, the bone-chilling and the tender.…
