Liesl & Po — Lauren Oliver
Locked in a tiny attic bedroom by her cruel stepmother, Leisl's only friends are the shadows and the mice -- until one evening, quite unexpectedly, a ghost named Po appears. The two instantly become friends, and it is because of Po that Liesl escapes from the attic and embarks on an extraordinary journey filled with fateful coincidences, narrow escapes, and the most powerful magic in the world.
