Stonewords: A Ghost Story

The first time Zoe met Zoe Louise, Zoe was four years old. Zoe Louise was more than 100. From that day on -- living in the same house, separated by a staircase and a century -- Zoe and Zoe Louise have been an important and permanent part of each other's lives. Now Zoe is older. And although Zoe Louise never grows up, she is changing in dreadful, frightening ways. Time is running out for Zoe's best friend -- and Zoe is the only one who can help her. To do so, she must travel back 100 years in time and somehow alter the past. But in changing the past, must she also change the present? If she saves her friend's life, will she lose Zoe Louise forever? 1990 Notable Trade Books in the Language Arts (NCTE) 1991 Choices (Association of Booksellers for Children) Children's Books of 1990 (Library of Congress) 1991 Books for the Teen Age (NY Public Library) 1991 Best Juvenile Mystery (Mystery Writers of America) Parenting Honorable Mention, Reading Magic Award 1995 California Young Reader Award
