Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-10-- First Rachel McCaw's artist-mother leaves home to find herself. Then her father--former hippie-farmer, now trucker--sells their Manitoba farm and drives off in his 18-wheeler to sort things out, leaving Rachel in the care of the "Fossils"--Aunt Irene and the odd assortment of elderly characters who share her ramshackled house. Rachel has been plagued by a second sight, or what she calls The Warnings , that seems to foretell the future. The Fossils seem to understand this about Rachel, and are inordinately interested in all of her thoughts, dreams, and experiences, as if they are waiting for something to happen. Will, a teenaged neighbor and classmate who is becoming more than a friend, is also drawn into the mystery surrounding a ghost who appears in Rachel's room. Like Buffie's The Haunting of Frances Rain (Scholastic, 1989), this is a compelling story, complex in themes but fast-moving and easy to read. It features a likable but very human heroine faced with meaningful, topical family problems; an unexpected first romance; and unusual supernatural intrigue rooted in her ancestry and guaranteed to keep the pages turning. Fans of Buffie's first novel will not be disappointed in this one, with its surprising and satisfying climax and conclusion; a captivating cover and contents will attract new readers as well. --Susan L. Rogers, Chestnut Hill Academy, PA

Review

Rachel hears strange voices. She sees things that aren't there. She always knows when something bad is going to happen. Some people may call these Warnings a gift -- a power. Not Rachel. She just wants to be like other kids. Then she moves in with her great aunt Irene and begins to understand the reason for the Warnings. A gripping page turner of suspense for ages 11 to 15. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Biography:

Award winning author, Margaret Buffie, was born and raised in the west end of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the U of Manitoba. An artist for many years, Margaret began writing a story that had intrigued her for a long time - and two years later, "Who is Frances Rain?" was published and quickly became a bestseller. Margaret has published nine more books for young adults. Her new novel is "Winter Shadows".
Margaret works at her home in Winnipeg during the winter and on the veranda of her cottage in north western Ontario in the summer months.
Her books have been published in the United States, Norway, Italy, Sweden, Australia, Great Britain, Germany, China and other countries.
Margaret is the recipient of the prestigious Vicky Metcalf Award for Body of Work (For writing inspirational to Canadian Youth); The Young Adult Canadian Book Award; is a two time winner of the McNally Robinson Book for Young People award, and has been shortlisted for many other awards and honours.

From Margaret: I'm pleased to say that my latest novel WINTER SHADOWS has won The Silver Nautilus Award, May 2011. This award is awarded to "distinguished literary and heartfelt contributions to spiritual growth, conscious living, high-level wellness, green values, responsible leadership and positive social change as well as to the worlds of art, creativity and inspirational reading for adults, children, teens and young adults."
Silver Nautilus Book Awards Winners are carefully selected in a unique three-tier judging process by experienced teams of book reviewers, librarians, authors, editors, book store owners, and leaders in the publishing industry.

WINTER SHADOWS was also nominated for the Canadian Library Association's Book of the Year award, as well as The McNally Robinson Book for Young People award.

Five of my books are now available on KINDLE: They are, "Winter Shadows", "The Watcher", "The Seeker", "The Finder", and "Angels Turn Their Backs".

This review is from: The Warnings (Mass Market Paperback)
Rachel's voice is so realistic, you feel as if you were talking with a friend instead of reading a story.
