The Turn of The Others

16. All on a Winter’s Day – Lisa Taylor

Winter isn’t just about being stuck in a house. It’s about being stuck in a haunted house with a mean ghost and some creepy child ghosts next to a lake. It’s also about how you deal with your down time, whether you’re waiting to move on to the next part of the afterlife or not. Will you try to “save” the children from their vindictive stepmother? Will you even leave your bedroom, the only modern part of the house you can’t seem to really get too far out of? Will you plot the murder of some scared children’s mean stepmother? Will you just torture your brother forever through small annoyances because there’s no one to tell you not to? So many questions, so little clear delineation of when anything is happening.

Peregrine says time is a flat circle.

 

Peregrine knows whether you’re hunting ghosts or the Thing, you need proper winter wear.
