Jennifer Strange

"Fifteen-year-old Jennifer Strange is the Sparrow, cursed with the ability to give ghosts and demonic spirits a body-a flesh and blood anchor in the mortal world-with the touch of her hand. When a ghost attacks her high school and awakens her powers, her father dumps her unceremoniously in the care of her estranged older sister Liz, leaving only his journal as an explanation. Drawn to the power of the Sparrow, the supernatural creatures preying on Savannah, Georgia will do anything to receive Jennifer's powerful gift. The sisters must learn to trust each other again and uncover the truth about their family history by deciphering their father's journal--because if they can't, Jennifer's uncontrolled power will rip apart the veil that separates the living from the dead"--Provided by publisher.
