- Synopsis
- Kat is just twelve years old when her mother dies, and she has no choice but to move in with her wealthy aunt Paulina--the very person who Kat believes caused her mother's death. Kat's aunt is even crueler than she'd imagined, and the old family house is brimming with secrets and mysteries. Although she daydreams about slipping poison into her aunt's cocktails, all Kat can really do is make a promise to herself. It is a promise that keeps her going, even through her darkest days. And slowly she finds other little specks of hope: an unlikely friend named Beamer, a new teacher who loves books as much as Kat does, and maybe even a family where she least expects to find one. With an exceptional and haunting voice, Bonnie Shimko has created a character who is both wise beyond her years and painfully vulnerable. Kat is one girl readers will never, ever forget. Letters In The Attic, Another book by Bonnie Shimko, about the complications, ups and downs and strong feelings experienced by a young girl growing up is also in the Bookshare collection.
