Sarah Wagner can tell her brother is there before she even sees him. There is the lingering odour of earth and rain, and then he appears, standing beside her bed, as if everything was perfectly normal. Except John is dead.
Sarah is grieving -- and scared. Desperately seeking help, she turns to her best friend, Donna, an angry girl on the fringe of society, and Michael, the dark and mysterious boy in her class, and is thrust on a journey into the mystical realm of the occult. But plagued by headaches and falling into a deepening chasm of drugs and alcohol, Sarah no longer knows what is real and what isn't.


"Part mystery, part horror novel and part human drama, this is a gritty and powerful novel that will draw its readers in and take them on a thrilling ride right to the amazing climax."
Canadian Children's Book News

"Brisk and interesting... An intriguing read."

Strange, strange book but I really enjoyed it. The ending made sense but I'm still not sure about a few of the characters role. Mainly Donna and Peter. I understand her mom, brother and Michael though. I think... lol
