The City Beautiful
by Aden Polydoros
A haunting, beautifully researched YA gothic set against the real 1893 Chicago World Fair - a gay Jewish immigrant is possessed by the dybbuk of his murdered best friend and must hunt a serial killer while reckoning with his own identity. Sydney Taylor Book Award winner. The historical detail and emotional depth are extraordinary.
