Where Oliver Fits by Cale Atkinson5/10/2023 Chester spots Simon immediately and peppers him with questions. And to top it off, this house is occupied by an old lady - they’re the easiest to haunt! But things don’t go as planned when it turns out a KID comes with this old lady. He’s a professional ghost who has been transferred to his first house. In the aftermath of violence, someone has to pay. But someone clearly doesn’t want Skye back in town, and when she and Jesse uncover new evidence that could clear Luka’s name, it becomes obvious that someone wants the past to stay buried. Told in alternating points of view, Skye and Jesse wade into the mystery of what took place that fateful day. Her childhood crush and former best friend until the massacre tore them apart. And there’s one person Skye dreads seeing most: Jesse Matin. But the scars of the past don’t heal easily. Now, Skye returns to the small town she had fled to start anew. But there’s no sympathy for Skye and her family because Luka wasn’t a victim - he was a shooter. Three years ago, Skye’s brother Luka died in a mass shooting at the local high school. We would like to congratulate Kelley Armstrong whose Aftermath won the Snow Willow Award and Cale Atkinson whose Sir Simon: Super Scarer won the Shining Willow Award.
