Dear Librarian: For teen readers who can't get enough of Twilight and Hunger Games, THE JUMBEE is next in line. After living in the legend-soaked islands of the West Indies, I couldn't resist the story of a high school Phantom of the Opera set in the Caribbean. When Esti starts school on Cariba Island, she's fleeing the shadow of her famous father. But on an island rife with superstition, Esti can't escape the darkness. In the black of the theater, an alluring voice becomes her drama tutor, while in the light of day Esti struggles to resist her attraction to the local bad boy. The islanders are sure Esti is haunted by a jumbee. What will it cost Esti – and everyone she loves – to unmask the truth? You can find out... For a CHANCE TO WIN A SIGNED copy of THE JUMBEE, visit my website, www.pamelakeyes.com. Pamela Keyes "A teenage actress falls for a mysterious stranger in this haunting romance, reminiscent of Phantom of the Opera.... The lushly described exotic setting breathes new life into the classic star-crossed story line." --Jennifer Hubert, Booklist
