Remember Me

by Chelsea Bobulski

Overview

A young woman faces her greatest fears to solve a centuries-old mystery and fight for a once-in-a-lifetime love in this atmospheric YA novel that will have you sleeping with the lights on.

When Nell Martin moves into the Winslow Grand Hotel, a Victorian seaside resort built in 1878, the idyllic setting soon becomes a nightmare. Doors lock of their own accord, writing appears on bathroom walls, and ghostly visions haunt her dreams. Thinking her mind is playing tricks on her, Nell soon finds the past and present colliding as she discovers she's connected to a murder that happened at the hotel over a hundred years ago - a murder that also connects her to the mysterious Alec Petrov, a seventeen-year-old boy who works at the hotel, and who seems to know a lot more than he's letting on.

Can past wrongs be righted? Or will the darkness pulsating within the walls of the Winslow Grand Hotel have the final say?

Editorial Reviews

"This is a classic ghost story, finely crafted and skillfully executed, balancing the emotional tension of a doomed romance with some pretty excellent jump scares. Chapters that alternate between Nell’s and Lea’s perspective often see them taking the same physical path through the hotel, wrapping the scenes in unease and foreboding, until Bobulski unleashes the true terror with vivid scenes of death and violence." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Gr 8 Up—Sixteen-year-old Aurelea Sargent, who comes to the Winslow Grand Hotel in 1907, is from an affluent family that has fallen on hard times. At the end of the summer after her 17th birthday, Aurelea will marry the rich Lon Van Oirschot. This marriage is sure to save the Sargent family's finances, but Aurelea is less than thrilled with the match to the handsome but brutish Lon. In 2019, Nell Martin, also 16, lives at the Winslow Grand Hotel with her father after he takes a job in management. Nell is wracked with nightmares, and she sees and hears things that should not be there, attributing these visions to similar fantasies she had shortly after her mother's death. As the alternating perspectives move along, Aurelea's and Nell's stories collide and they realize the ghostly visions and sounds may be real, and threatening. The story draws readers in, and while the ending feels a little rushed and tidy, readers will be satisfied. VERDICT A mixture of mystery, romance, and horror, this book engages and entertains. A recommended purchase where students are seeking something different.—Megan Huenemann, Norris High School, Firth, NE
