2010 book 140

Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Prince of Mist
I've been meaning to read Shadow of the Wind by this same author for ages (it's been recommended to me many times), but hadn't gotten around to it, so when a translation of his YA novel came out recently I figured I'd give it a go as it was getting great reviews. Anyway, it's about a family that moves to the country to try and get out of the path of WWII, and when son Max and teen daughter Alicia befriend a local boy, they get caught up in something very creepy. I do wish things has been fleshed out a bit more but got totally caught up in the story, whcih had a few great surprises. B+.
