Lottie Barrett Lives
(Again) is speculative fiction, YA for grownups. It’s no zombie bloodbath or
lighthearted zombie romp. It’s a winter ghost tale, what can happen when a
zombie girl arrives in 1960s small town America and just in time for the
holidays.
It’s Halloween night,
1966. Thirteen year old Lottie has been dead a hundred years and the kids go up
to the graveyard with the book of spells Charlene Pendergrass swiped from Miss
Robespierre. The kids are going to have some fun scaring themselves, bringing
Lottie back, but it turns out Miss Robespierre isn’t the faker everyone says
she is and there’s nothing fake about her book either and now there’s a
ghost-girl walking the streets of Hope Mountain and what to do with her?
Maybe nothing.
Lottie’s no zombie
ax-murderer. She’s just a peculiar kid who wants to be a teenager, something
she missed the first time. What else she wants is Bobby Clyde, cutest boy in
the freshman class and how can Bobby resist? Lottie is cute and sweet and
funny, or are those things illusory, a witch’s spell on Bobby? And what’s Bobby
going to do when it’s time for Lottie to go back up onto the hill? Bobby is
determined to go with her. Lottie doesn’t think he should go but she doesn’t
think she could live (or die) without him. Only Bobby’s mom and big sister can
save him and before they can save him, they have to convince themselves it
really is true, and there isn’t much time.
