The sequel to the national bestseller
Whistling in the Dark—now in trade
paperback.
“A gorgeous page turner.”*
Whistling in the Dark captivated readers with the story of tenyear-old
Sally O’Malley and her sister, Troo, during Milwaukee’s
summer of 1959. Now it’s one year later, and Sally, who made a
deathbed promise to her daddy to keep Troo safe, is having a hard
time honoring her vow. Her sister is growing increasingly rebellious
amid a string of home burglaries, a nemesis’ escape from reform
school, and the mysterious disappearance of an orphan—events
that have the entire neighborhood on edge. And in that tense, hot
summer, Sally will have to ground her flights of imagination, and
barter her waning innocence, in order to sort the truth from lies to
protect her sister and herself.
“Moving, funny, and full of unexpected delights...told in the
sparkling voices of two extraordinary sisters.”

O’Malley sisters.”
—Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author
“Readers who enjoyed the first book are in for a treat!”
