520 |a From APALA Honor award-winning author Susan Tan, a middle-grade novel about a girl who must overcome her worries to find the truth behind her town's urban legend. Mo is not afraid of toast. Just to be clear. She is afraid of fires, though. Which can be caused by everyday appliances, like toasters. So toast isn't the problem, but you could say it's the start of a slippery slope. Since her family's recent move, Mo's been eating oatmeal for breakfast. Moving to a new town is never easy, but it's even harder when you're dealing with a stepdad who just left and a mom who can't get out of bed long enough to find a new a job. But Mo doesn't have time to dwell on these things. Because it's her job to keep her family together. To keep them safe. So when an elephant starts to haunt her dreams<U+2015>and a mysterious spirit attacks her home<U+2015>Mo knows it's up to her to intervene before things get too dangerous. With her new friend, Nathaniel, she embarks on an investigation, searching for the truth about the town, its people, and their history. But things are much more complicated and tangled than she thought. To find out what's really going on, Mo might have to live a little dangerously after all.
