Miranda isn’t happy when the sullen Abby Chandler comes to live with her family, but feels sorry for her when she hears Abby crying every night. Eventually Miranda confronts Abby, who shares her horrible secret: Abby’s family was killed in a house fire in this very town, more than three hundred years ago. Somehow Abby survived, but she has been living in a virtual limbo ever since. Could the rediscovered ceramic statue of a phoenix Abby lost long ago hold the key to changing the course of events? “A book with everything a reader wants, Pale Phoenix has mystery, suspense, supernatural elements, time travel, romance, history, realistic family life, and plenty of action.”--VOYA
