Beschreibung

In a world where touch brings oblivion, a girl with hands that make things vanish must decide if her power is a curse—or salvation.Nine-year-old Laika has spent her entire life within the walls of a secretive hospital run by religious fanatics, where her deadly touch is contained by milk cartons tied around her hands.When a burned boy named Helio arrives and discovers that Laika’s touch reveals his inner light instead of destroying him, their unusual powers set in motion a dangerous chain of events.As the hospital’s sinister purpose is revealed, Laika must confront the self-loathing that has defined her existence and embrace the very ability she’s feared—because in the void left by her touch lies the only path to freedom.*A haunting tale of found family, self-acceptance, and the courage to create your own destiny when the world has already decided what you are.

    A young couple finds the perfect country cottage with one caveat - it has a horrible legend attached to it.  
    Edith Nesbit wrote under the name E. Nesbit, and is most famous for her stories for children, and has influenced the likes of J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis and P.L. Travers. She wrote over 60 books, including The Railway Children, Five Children and It, and The Story of the Treasure Seekers.  
    Her second, darker reputations was as a purveyor of horror stories, which are sublime in their elegance and simplicity. This story is quite simple, but when you take into account the beauty of the language, the skill of the plot movement, and the intriguing supporting characters, it really ranks high when it comes to classic ghost stories.
