In the tradition of The Lovely Bones and Neal Shusterman's Everlost comes a haunting tale of two girls--one dead, one alive--and high school bullying that's about to turn deadly.

Now a 2016 Bram Stoker Awards Finalist!
 
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.
 
★ "A satisfying read that tackles heavy issues and is never weighed down by them." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred review
