Annotation: When puberty hits Chloe Saunders, she starts seeing ghosts.

Booktalk: You’re a fifteen-year old girl who has her first period, then sees a ghost, which freaks you out so bad that you accidentally attack a teacher and get sent to a group home. 

Which sucks. 

To make things even worse, everyone at Lyle House is either obnoxious, rude, weird, or all three. Nobody understands you. They don’t even try. You still see ghosts, but you also see other kids secretly doing things just as weird, maybe weirder. You decide to find out what’s going on, why Lyle House is so messed up and what secrets are being kept hidden.But be careful: you might not like what you find....
