""Ellen Poe: The Forgotten Lore is a unique and haunting mystery that expertly blends charm and humor with thrills and chills.""--Chelsea Ichaso, author of The Summer She Went Missing ""Balancing the cozy and the creepy, Ellen Poe is a delightfully dark salute to the fascinating figure of Edgar Allan Poe. The characters are instantly engaging, and Peterfreund has clearly done her research. More than just referencing Poe's greatest hits, the story delves into his messy life, explores the echoes of his death, and draws on his passion for cryptic puzzles to craft a Poe-themed escape room of an adventure for our young protagonist. All around, a satisfying supernatural mystery to make Poe proud.""--William Ritter, New York Times bestselling author of the Jackaby series

""Poe fans will rejoice at the amusing, endearing characterization of the poet, while those unfamiliar with his work will develop a well-earned appreciation for him.... A winning combination of mystery and (tell-tale) heart.""--Kirkus Reviews ""Deliciously spooky and incredibly fun to read. Diana has brought Poe back to play, and I adored every second.""--Maureen Johnson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Truly Devious and the Stevie Bell mysteries ""A smashing read! Diana Peterfreund knows her Poe, and her love for the subject ripples through every page. Ellen and Gus (and their marvelously maudlin ghost) are a winning team of sleuths, and this smart, fast-paced tale leads readers into an enticing warren of historical mysteries. Sure to delight both the casually Poe-curious and the truly Poe-sessed.""--Elizabeth C. Bunce, Edgar Award-winning author of Premeditated Myrtle ""Ellen Poe: The Forgotten Lore is funny and clever; an intriguing adventure narrated by a sharp and charmingly-wry protagonist. I loved puzzling alongside Ellen as she races to unravel Poe's cryptic clues and avert disaster for her family. Replete with riddles, deception, and haunting lore, it's the perfect mash up of supernatural mystery and exhilarating treasure hunt. (Also I am now, and will forever be, wondering if I pronounce ""Baltimore"" correctly.)""--Kate A.
