Only Mattie knows that her death is a murder.An astonishing and heartbreaking story set in 1906, this novel will take its place beside To Kill a Mockingbird, Little Women, and other classics that hark back to times of lost innocence.A Northern Light is Jennifer Donnelly’s first published young adult novel, and it marks the debut of a major new talent.
