A Dalton native’s debut book from a major publishing house hits shelves and e-readers Tuesday.
Susan Dennard, a 2002 graduate of Dalton High School, releases her Victorian-era novel “Something Strange and Deadly” published by HarperCollins Children’s after several years of writing.
It is available on Amazon.com and at Barnes & Noble.
In an April 2011 interview with The Daily Citizen, Dennard explained the plot of “Something Strange and Deadly.”
“It’s 1876, and Philadelphia is hosting the first American World’s Fair,” Dennard said. “It’s also hosting rancid corpses that refuse to stay dead. When one of those decomposing bodies brings Eleanor — a 16-year-old with a weakness for buttered toast and Shakespeare quotes — a hostage note for her brother, she resolves to do anything to rescue him. But to face the armies of dead that have him, she’ll need a little help from a rag-tag ghost-fighting team called the Spirit-Hunters.”
