This excellent young adult thriller is an object lesson in how to write a novel. A real novel, not just a prose work of a certain length. A novel needs substance, ideas, an insight into character, and above all a real sense of humanity. Silent Sat...

“My life might have been so different, had I not been known as the girl whose grandmother exploded.”
― Helen Grant, The Vanishing of Katharina Linden
― Helen Grant, The Vanishing of Katharina Linden
“What was really unfair about the whole thing was that Oma Kristel hadn't so much exploded as spontaneously combusted. But Gossip is Baron Münchhausen's little sister, and never lets the truth get in the way of a good story.”
― Helen Grant, The Vanishing of Katharina Linden
― Helen Grant, The Vanishing of Katharina Linden
“Herr Schiller? Are there really any such things as ghosts?' The old man did not even show surprise at the question. He heaved a sigh. 'Yes Pia, there are. But never the ones you expect.”
