What's Palace Beautiful About
A secret room plus a hidden journal written during the Flu Pandemic of 1918 make for an emotional, magical middle-grade read. 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? A NYPL 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing
