The Girl Who Would Speak for the Dead
By Paul Elwork

Emily and Michael gather the neighborhood children in their garden tea house to fool them with these “spirit knockings.” But soon this game of contacting the dead creeps into a world of adults still reeling from a world war. And when the twins find themselves dabbling in the uncertain territory of human grief and family secrets, their game spins out of control…
