The Forgotten Girl by India Hill Brown 

 

“There was something buried, just barely, under the snow angel’s chest, where her heart would be. It glistened in the moonlight. They bent over and worked together to uncover it. 

Their hands froze in midair, mimicking the angels’. 

Daniel gasped.

‘Iris , that’s…’

Iris sat down at the crumbling stone, a gust of cold air pushing past her, forcing her to speak. 

‘A grave.’ ”

And that passage was from the book I will be booktalking, The Forgotten Girl by India Hill Brown.
