The Special Ones By E.M. Bailey
It is almost time for another renewal, and Esther is apprehensive. She knows that Harry will do a good job, but it can be so stressful when a new “special one” comes to the farm. If only she could help Harry, with well, anything! But she can’t. As Esther, she isn’t even allowed to leave the farm house. She must pretend that everything is fine. Because if she doesn’t, he won’t be happy. And if he isn’t happy with everything she says and does, she might find herself being renewed.
Recommended for 8th grade and up.
