The Odds - 9781338803815

From the author that gave us THE GLASS WITCH comes a whimsical exploration of disability that is equal parts SCOOBY-DOO and SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Begonia was abandoned at a retirement home when she was a baby. You might think that's the worst thing that could happen to someone, but for Bug, the worst is still to come. Swamp Root Manor isn't just any old house. It's alive, it's haunted, and everyone in it is...a little bit Odd. Her guardian owns the manor and is running out of money, thanks in no small part to all of Bug's hospital bills. If he can't keep Swamp Root open her grandparents will be displaced and forced to pretend to be normal for the rest of their days. Begonia knows if she could just tap into her Oddity, the thing that will give her power, she could use it to save the manor. But she is only days away from her 11th birthday and if she doesn't get it by then, it will never come. She will be removed from her home. Sent to the normal world. Her memory will be wiped. And her family will be gone. Bug has to do the unthinkable... she has to make a friend. She joins forces with, Bass, the most annoying boy she has ever known to track down their Oddities. Together they battle humans, ghosts, their own self-doubt, and sometimes even each other in order to save her grandparents...all of them.
