Mysterious book for young readers and the not so young >Published: 7/14/2021 5:18:18 PM
“My best comfort reading from age 12, or even before that, was usually ghost stories. I really love that kind of reading experience,” Emily Arsenault of Shelburne Falls told me in a recent interview. “Something that readers can read around Halloween season by a fire with the wind howling outside.”
Arsenault has managed to achieve just that sort of absorbing, ever-so-slightly creepy storytelling in her ninth book, the young-adult novel “When All the Girls Are Sleeping” (Delacorte Press, 448 pages, $17.99).
The book is indeed technically for young adults; its protagonist is in high school. I would argue that its subject matter and plotting should appeal to adults as well. I certainly devoured the book.
