'I know what an endsister is,' says Sibbi again. We are endsisters, Else thinks, Sibbi and I. Bookends, oldest and youngest, with the three boys sandwiched in between. Meet the Outhwaite children. There's teenage Else, the violinist who abandons her violin. There's nature-loving Clancy. There's the inseparable twins, Oscar-and-Finn, Finn-and-Oscar. And then there is Sibbi, the baby of the family. They all live contentedly squabbling in a cottage surrounded by trees and possums...until a letter arrives to say they have inherited the old family home in London. Outhwaite House is full of old shadows and new possibilities. The boys quickly find their feet in London, and Else is hoping to reinvent herself. But Sibbi is misbehaving, growing thinner and paler by the day, and she won't stop talking about the mysterious endsister. Meanwhile Almost Annie and Hardly Alice, the resident ghosts, are tied to the house for reasons they have long forgotten, watching the world around them change, but never leaving. The one thing they all agree on - the living and the dead - is never, ever to open the attic door...

And finally, #BookMail Pt14 is the last of the day🎉 The Endsister is about the large Outhwaite family. Living in a small town in Australia, they‘re happy living surrounded by trees & possums. Then they get a letter, they‘ve inherited a large house in England, so they pack everything up & move across the world. But they‘re now sharing their home with two ghosts who tell them to never open the attic door. Huzzah!🎉Now I get to pick one to read.

JennyM I have this in my ‘next up‘ pile. I saw it mentioned on here and was told it was awesome! I have high hopes xx hope you are feeling better xx 6y

Well this was amazing!

A large Australian rural family is uprooted when they inherit an old house in London. The setup for the ghost story sounds cliche, but this story is fresh and I found it astonishingly affecting (I was weeping by page 170, which rarely happens). There are multiple PoV, yet it feels coherent. Russon's insight into the emotional life of young children is profound and I will be remembering Sibbi for quite some time.

RadicalReader @Lauredhel can‘t wait to check out this novel for myself sounds like the most unique and intriguing book ever written 7y
Lauredhel @RadicalReader It is REALLY good. I mean, apart from that bit in the middle where I sobbed at the author on Facebook late at night begging her to tell me it was all going to be ok. Even that bit was good really, though. 7y
Cinfhen Great review! 7y
