What follows is a well-crafted mystery with unexpected twists and turns and page turning intensity.” — Library Thing Twelve-year-old haunt huntress apprentice Evangeline Clement spends her days and nights studying the ways of folk magic, honing her monster-hunting skills while pursuing local bayou banshees and Johnny revenants. With her animal familiar sure to make itself known any day now, the only thing left to do is prove to the council she has heart. Then she will finally be declared a true haunt huntress, worthy of following in the footsteps of her long line of female ancestors. But when Evangeline and her grandmother are called to New Orleans to resolve an unusual case, she uncovers a secret that will shake her to the soles of her silver-tipped alligator-skin boots. Set in the evocative Louisiana bayou and the vibrant streets of New Orleans, Evangeline’s is a tale of loyalty and determination, the powerful bonds of friendship and family, and the courage to trust your gut no matter how terrifying that might be. -Available May 01, 2018 ISBN: 978-0-06-2628034-1 Order from: Scholastic UK's edition of Evangeline of the Bayou: Goth Girl meets Ghostbusters in this read-in-one-sitting mystery adventure with the perfect spine-tingling balance of fun and scares! “Eldredge writes with a lyrical flair that breathes spine-tingling life into the most fantastical of creatures.” “… Monsters of the night are lurking around every turn of the page… So, too are the plot twists, with some engaging revelations coming thick and fast as the book reaches its climax.” ISBN-10: 1407181025 Order from: Scholastic (UK) Amazon Evangeline und die Geister des Bayou Thienemann Verlag’s edition of Evangeline of the Bayou ISBN: 978-3-522-18529-5 Order from: Thienemann-Esslinger Amazon.de
