The Flask - Nicky Singer

'Twelve year old Jess is grieving for her beloved Aunt Edie, and anxiously awaiting the birth of her twin brothers, when she finds a mysterious glass flask hidden in a desk. The flask is beautiful to Jess, and soon she starts to believe that it contains a magical life-force. When her half-brothers are born critically ill, Jess becomes convinced that their survival depends on what's happening to the flask...'

I am not sure about the ending in this book...but there is wonderful and very poetic writing throughout and I wanted to capture elements of it as pictures. This is another quite thought provoking read and full of feeling, quite emotive.
