by Diana Wynne Jones, Garth Nix (introduction)
Polly has two sets of memories...
One is normal: school, home, friends. The other, stranger
memories begin nine years ago, when she was ten and gate-crashed an odd funeral
in the mansion near her grandmother's house. Polly's just beginning to recall
the sometimes marvelous, sometimes frightening adventures she embarked on with
Tom Lynn after that. And then she did something terrible, and everything changed.
But what did she do? Why can't she remember? Polly must
uncover the secret, or her true love -- and perhaps Polly herself -- will be
lost.

Easily one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors. This was a great modern take on the old Scottish ballad Tam Lin. Instead of a book from two different perspectives, this is a book where a character has two sets of memories. It's important to keep them straight. Otherwise you can just sit back (or hover on the edge of your seat like I did) and enjoy the ride. Wonderful wonderful tale.
