β¦ Synopsis
In the tradition of The Lovely Bones, Neal Shusterman's Everlost, or Jessica Warman's Between comes a haunting tale of two girlsβone dead, one aliveβand high school bullying that's about to turn deadly.
When Tatum has a falling-out with a popular girl at school, she isn't prepared for the vicious backlash that follows. One foggy night, Tatum sneaks out for a drive. The teenage hitchhiker she picks up doesn't talk much, until she suddenly turns to Tatum and says: "You're going to die. It will hurt and you'll be alone. And no one will help you."
And then she disappears. Is the girl a ghost? Or is this just another sick game the bullies at school are playing? As the two girls' stories converge, they will discover that the only way to help themselves is to first save each other.
