This ghost story gave me chill after chill. It will haunt you. --
R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps Do you know what it feels like to
be forgotten? On a cold winter night, Iris and her best friend,
Daniel, sneak into a clearing in the woods to play in the freshly
fallen snow. There, Iris carefully makes a perfect snow angel--only
to find the crumbling gravestone of a young girl, Avery Moore,
right beneath her. Immediately, strange things start to happen to
Iris: She begins having vivid nightmares. She wakes up to find her
bedroom window wide open, letting in the snow. She thinks she sees
the shadow of a girl lurking in the woods. And she feels the pull
of the abandoned grave, calling her back to the clearing...
Obsessed with figuring out what's going on, Iris and Daniel start
to research the area for a school project. They discover that
Avery's grave is actually part of a neglected and forgotten Black
cemetery, dating back to a time when White and Black people were
kept separate in life--and in death. As Iris and Daniel learn more
about their town's past, they become determined to restore Avery's
grave and finally have proper respect paid to Avery and the others
buried there. But they have awakened a jealous and demanding ghost,
one that's not satisfied with their plans for getting recognition.
One that is searching for a best friend forever--no matter what the
cost. The Forgotten Girl is both a spooky original ghost story and
a timely and important storyline about reclaiming an abandoned
segregated cemetery. A harrowing yet empowering tale reminding us
that the past is connected to the present, that every place and
every person has a story, and that those stories deserve to be
told. -- Renee Watson, New York Times bestselling author of Piecing
