(3) 4-6 Ormsbee personifies Death and Memory and indentures a human family to them in this allegorical story set in present-day Tennessee. Once readers surrender to the premise, they'll be swept up in the attempts of twins Lee and Felix to escape their family's Agreement with help from strange new-girl Gretchen. Magical, mysterious, and somewhat macabre, their story escalates to a rousing conclusion.
