Nothing ever happens on Kasia's street. And Kasia would know. Her illness keeps her home for days at a time, with little to do but watch the world from her bedroom window. So when she witnesses what looks like a kidnapping, she's not sure she can believe her own eyes...
So she sets out to find the only other witness. The girl in the window across the street. The girl who was also watching when things went down.
But what Kasia discovers shocks her more than the kidnapping itself.
There is no girl.
MY REVIEW: 4 Stars ⭐️
Today I looked out of the window—even though I know that I should—not and I was shocked. I saw the ghost of myself—looking back at me. A girl in the window opposite. She peered out, just as I did, her shadowy shape a mirror-image of mine, though her hair was light, her face pale. Is she a ghost, just as I am? Is this whole street maybe full of ghosts like me, and we know nothing of each other’s plight, or why we can neither live nor our souls rest in peace?
This was a nice little mystery wrapped inside of a girl with a chronic illness. Kasia has chronic fatigue syndrome (one of the many things I have as well) She has really bad side effects from her illness. I thought I was going to have a panic attack reading the book.
Anyway, Kasia witnessed a woman being taken away in a car. She tries to help by calling the police but nothing ever came from it. Come to find out, this book is about finding yourself, finding answers to a mystery, finding new friends and saving lives.
I thought it was a sweet little book for the most part.
