The Odds by Lindsay Puckett

From the author that gave us THE GLASS WITCH comes a whimsical exploration
of disability that is A Snicker of Magic meets The Sixth Sense.
If you have found this book, then you are probably a lover of the dark and
twisty. You did pull this book from a cold dead corpse, after all.
This is the story of Begonia, who was abandoned at a retirement home when she
was a baby. You might think that’sthe worst thing that could happen to someone,
but for Bug, the worst is yet to come.
You see, Swamp Root Manor isn’t just any old house. It’s alive, it’s haunted, and
everyone in it is…a little bit Odd. Everyone except Begonia. And while she’s
waiting for her Oddity to arrive, the manor is running out of money, thanks in no
small part to all of Bug’s hospital bills.
But Begonia refuses to let Swamp Root close. If she could just tap into her Oddity,
she could use its power to save the manor and all fifty-two of her grandparents.
But she is only days away from her 11th birthday and if she doesn’t get it by then,
it will never come.

Lindsay lives in a tiny apartment in Ohio where there are too many books, just the
right amount of pet hair, and never enough house plants. Or peanut butter.
She has a Bachelor’s in psychology and enjoys creating videos for her YouTube
channel where she shares her publication journey and helps other writers along
their own.
