Nothing ever happened in Ondine, Louisiana, not even the summer Elijah Landry disappeared.
His mother knew he ascended to heaven, the police believed he ran away, and his girlfriend thought he was murdered.
Decades later, certain she saw his ghost in the town cemetery, fourteen-year-old Iris Rhame is determined to find out the truth behind “The Incident With the Landry Boy.”
Enlisting the help of her best friend Collette, and forced to endure the company of Collette’s latest crush, Ben, Iris spends a summer digging into the past and stirring old ghosts, in search of a boy she never knew.
What she doesn’t realize is that in a town as small as Ondine, every secret is a family secret.

I’m Italian and I’ve read the Italian transalation of the book -wich is called “The summer of the Ghosts”- five or six times and I’m reading it again. I find this book fantastic, there is no word to describe it.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I think you’re the first person I’ve met who’s read the Italian version! :D
