<b> <i>Clever Little Thing</i> taps into the heart of maternal fear and will shock you in the best way. This one will give you goose bumps. Ashley Elston, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>First Lie Wins</i><br> <br>"Sharp and unflinching a perfectly unnerving story." Ashley Audrain, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Push</i><br> <br> A taut, powerful psychological thriller following a mother who must confront a sudden and terrifying change in her daughter after the abrupt death of their babysitter</b><br><br>Charlotte s daughter Stella is sensitive and brilliant, perhaps even a genius, but a recent change in her behavior has alarmed her mother. Following the sudden death of Stella s babysitter, Blanka, the once disruptive and anti-social child has become docile and agreeable. But what s unsettling is that she has begun to mirror Blanka s personality, from Blanka s repetitive phrases to her accent, to fierce cravings for Armenian meat stew after being raised a vegetarian.<br><br>Charlotte is pregnant with her second child, and depleted and sick with the pregnancy. She is convinced that Blanka herself is somehow responsible for Stella s transformation. But how could Blanka, dead, still be entwined in their lives? Has Blanka somehow possessed Stella? Has Stella <i>become </i>Blanka? As Charlotte becomes increasingly obsessed, she is sure that only she can save her daughter. . . even though it s soon clear that her husband believes this is all in Charlotte s head.<br><br>Helena Echlin s singular, chilling voice holds light to the blurred lines of diagnosis in children and to the vital power of maternal instinct. Kaleidoscopic and tense, pulse-pounding and genuinely creepy, and infused with shades of the supernatural, <i>Clever Little Thing</i> is an ode to motherhood and a nuanced critique of the caretaking industry, a page-turner that will haunt readers long after its epic, surprising finale.
