Ring around the rosy.

Pocket full of posies.

Ashes, ashes.

We all fall down. 

 

Do you remember reading this nursery rhyme out loud, laughing and singing?

Yeah me too. 

Then you got older. You asked a few more questions. You wanted to know so bad.

 

And then you found out.

 

That nursery rhyme didn't seem so joyous after all. The children didn't trip and fall.

 

They were killed. 

 

Grace has been trying to find him. You know, him. The scarred man. The murderer. The one who killed her mother. She got older. She asks questions. And she wants to know so bad.

 

And then she finds out. And it isn't what she thought.

 

Maybe some mysteries are better left unsolved. 


The author's comments:

This book is amazing. It gave rushes of excitement, joy, and terror. I didn't want to put it down except for when I dropped it at the twists and turns throughout. You will too.
