Curses and Other Buried Things by Caroline George, Susana Prather wakes up the day after her eighteenth birthday, soaked with water, and no memory of sleepwalking. This strange but familiar occurrence continues night after night. Susana's family history shows that seven generations of the Prather women have been lost to the Georgia swamp behind her house. As Susana seeks solutions to the past and the present, she has something that no one else has been able to seize, the unflagging belief that all curses can be broke and that love can help a new future begin. Hardcover, 384 pages. Recommended for ages 13 to 16 years old.
