CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST OF THE YEAR A KIRKUS BEST OF THE YEAR
Everyone has heard the story of the Narrow. The river that runs
behind the Atwood School is only a few feet
across and seemingly placid, but beneath the surface, the waters
are deep and vicious. It’s said that no one who has fallen in has
ever survived. Eden White knows that isn’t true. Six years ago, she
saw Delphine Fournier fall into the Narrow—and live. Delphine now
lives in careful isolation, sealed off from the world. Even a single
drop of unpurified water could be deadly to her, and no one but Eden
has any idea why. Eden has never told anyone what she saw or spoken
to Delphine since, but now, unable to cover her tuition, she has to
make a deal: her expenses will be paid in return for serving as a
live-in companion to Delphine. Eden finds herself drawn to the strange
and mysterious girl, and the two of them begin to unravel each
other’s secrets. Then Eden discovers what happened to the last girl
who lived with Delphine: she was found half-drowned on dry land.
Suddenly Eden is waking up to wet footprints tracking to the end of
her bed, the sound of rain on the windows when the skies are
clear, and a ghostly silhouette in her doorway. Something is haunting
Delphine—and now it’s coming for Eden, too.
