But after her father's sudden death, money is tight, and horrible Aunty Violet decides to give Max away--he is just too big for their cramped new life. Binny knows she can't get her dad back, but she never stops missing Max, or trying to find him. Then, when she's eleven, everything changes again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAunty Violet has died, and left Binny and her family an old house in a seaside town. Binny is faced with a new crush, a new frenemy, and...a ghost? It seems Aunty Violet may not have completely departed. It's odd being haunted by her aunt, but there is also the warmth of a busy and loving mother, a musical older sister, and a hilarious little brother, who is busy with his experiments. And his wetsuit. And his chickens. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou'll delight in getting to know Binny and her hilarious, heartwarming family in this charming novel, which received three starred reviews.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHilary McKay is the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eThe Time of Green Magic\u003c\/i\u003e (which received five starred reviews), \u003ci\u003eThe Skylarks' War \u003c\/i\u003e(which was a \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book and received three starred reviews), \u003ci\u003eBinny Bewitched \u003c\/i\u003e(which was a \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews \u003c\/i\u003eBest Book of the Year and received two starred reviews), \u003ci\u003e Binny in Secret\u003c\/i\u003e (which received three starred reviews), \u003ci\u003eBinny for Short\u003c\/i\u003e (which received four starred reviews), and six novels about the Casson family: \u003ci\u003eSaffy's Angel\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIndigo's Star\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Permanent Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCaddy Ever After\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForever Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCaddy's World\u003c\/i\u003e.
