Summary

This is book is about two characters Lara Lington and Sadie Lancaster.

This is one character that plays a major part in the plot of this book, but will you have to read the book to find out. Sadie Lancaster is Lara’s great aunt who died suddenly at 105. She is someone who has been neglected and forgotten by members of her family. No one really knows or cares very much about her. She appears at her own funeral as a 23 year old ghost dressed in twenties girl [hence the name of the book] Sadie haunts Lara relentlessly and will not go away until Lara agrees to help find Sadie’s long lost necklace, one with a dragon fly with beads. She even demands that Lara stop the funeral, and from this sets both of them off on a series of adventures. Throughout the book, the two develop a friendship and help each other out to sort out each other lives and they learn about each other and the times period they live in respectively. Sadie helps Lara put together the pieces of her life and Lara helps Sadie to find her necklace (and along the way uncovers a deep dark secret that has been kept hidden from Sadie…)
