It's called the Humming Room and is a children's title. <br /><br />I hope to join your challenge this year. I am still deciding which ones to do.

I even went out of my way to buy a copy with a pretty cover. But have I read it? No, of course not). <br /><br />I didn't realize New Girl was a retelling of Rebecca! I LOVE Rebecca. I passed on New Girl because I don't like covers under water, but I just downloaded it now thanks to your list.<br /><br />This list rocks!
