The Butterflies of Meadow Hill Manor

by Stefanie Parks

I am absolutely astounded by the creativity and writing of this debut YA novel by Stefanie Parks. What a beautiful story! Thought-provoking, interesting and heartfelt.

Amy is a 12-year-old girl, sent to live with her Aunt Wilhelmina after a tragic event. She is obviously grieving, dissociating often, and breathing away the hurt feelings in her meager existence. Since the event happened a couple of years ago, she has quit talking. The Manor is allegedly haunted with all kinds of tinkling noises and dream whispers. And best of all, there is Butterfly Magic.

Amy is a sweet girl, haunted by her tragedy, filled with anxiety but yet hopeful and strong. The author has beautifully woven her and created a rich tapestry with colorful characters.

Highly, highly recommend!
