It s Lila B s first day at a new school, in a new town (yay, Pinedale!), in a new state, in a new country. It s a lot. A fish out of water, Lila wants nothing more than to go back to her old home. Moving to Pinedale after her mother s death is more than she bargained for, and nothing makes sense. There s one logical illogical explanation that she could be like her mother, who swore she could see ghosts. It s Lila's worst fear. But there s no such thing as ghosts, right? Right? When her buddy goes missing, Lila is faced with a dead-ly decision. With so many lives (and deaths) at stake, she doesn t stand a ghost of a chance unless she embraces her ghost-whispering legacy. But that would mean giving up the chance of a fresh start.
