Laura, Daniel and Mo are presumed dead but suddenly return to be greeted by their old high school teacher who gives them an interesting proposition - if they can complete a series of magical quests they will be allowed to stay with the living. Not all will make it and there are a handful of supernatural creatures that want to make sure none of them succeed. Laura, Laura's sister Susannah and Daniel have been best friends and more for a long time. Susannah has been lost without them but is equally unsure how to deal with them back. Mo comes back to an empty house where his only family, his grandmother, passed away while he was gone. This book has a hefty page count and a rambling style that pulls in some many different examples of love, loss and magic. It explores the unshakeable bond of sisters, friendship, love and the trials and tribulations of growing up with a smattering of horror and violence. This will appeal to fans of her short stories and readers of the unusual, early Stephen King and PIRANESI. 3 1/2 stars
