Tween Urban Fantasy submitted by sdunav on June 16, 2014, 12:38pm This is light urban fantasy for 12-14 y.o.'s - a story about a boy from South Boston who sees a banshee (which foretells death in the family), and how he deals with it. I didn't like it as much as the other middle grade book I've read by Booraem, but it was a pretty good story, especially if you (or your kids have Irish ancestry).
