Old Bones Old Bones: Rise and See
After finding a couple of old bones in a clearing, ten-year old Katie accidentally discovers a portal to the In-between, a world for souls who are not at rest. When she gets struck by lightning and wakes up with the bone still in her hand, she realizes she has special powers, but she's not sure if they are coming from the strange old bones or from something else.
When a boy named Tarragon suddenly appears in her life claiming he has been dead for forty years, Katie thinks it is her responsibility to help him make amends with someone he hurt so his soul can rest in peace, but when she discovers her little sister is terminally ill, it is Katie who needs Tarragon's help in understanding that love is greater than death.
