More Lily Dale entertainment! Seriously, between all the Lily Dale references I've seen on "Mysteries at the Museum" (yep, I'm a nerd) and these books, a visit to Lily Dale, NY is steadily moving higher up on my 'bucket list'. I also always enjoy Ms. Staub's Author's Notes. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because (despite a number of my earlier ratings here), I've decided a book has to be REALLY special/touching to earn "that elusive fifth star" (paraphrased line from a Frasier rerun I recently re-watched for about the 15th time. Once again, I'm a nerd). The third of four novels in the Lily Dale series. In her quest to learn if her visons of her mother's death are accurate, young Calla sets herself up for a true "near death' experience. Despite warnings from her boyfriend Jacy, a psychic child she babysits, her grandmother and others; Calla convinces Jacy to drive her to Geneseo to locate a statue of a giant bear and a neon purple house as indicated on a billet draw. (A psychic workshop asks the participants to write a question on a small piece of paper, fold it and drop it into a basket. The filled basket is passed arounbd the room, each person chooses a paper strip. Withhout opening the paper; the class is told to concentrate and verbally describe what they see; after which the person opens the paper, reading the question.) Although Calla and Jacy locate both the bear and the house; Calla's response to the woman answering the door at the neon purple house gives thewoman enough informationo to track down the youth. In the end, the death of Calla's mother, previously ruled accidental has been reopened; this time as a murder investigation.
Do You like book Connecting (2008)?
The series continues to be good enough that I've kept reading.
