Palace Beautiful

By Sarah DeFord Williams

This is a really cute book! It was fast and lovable.

Would I recommend it? Yes to any one who likes to keep up on their elementary reading. Or to any young girl, she would love the adventure!

When sisters Sadie and Zuzu move to Salt Lake City, they discover an old journal in a secret room in their new house. Along with their neighbor, Bella, the girls take turns reading the story of a girl named Helen who lived during the flu epidemic of 1918. They soon become wrapped up in Helen's tale, which ends with a tragedy that has a scary parallel to Sadie and Zuzu's lives. Did Helen survive the flu? Is she still alive somewhere? Or could her ghost be watching them?
