TEEN SPIRIT

Acclaimed writer Francesca Lia Block brings to life this haunting and redeeming ghost story with her signature, poetic prose.

Julie’s life has never been perfect. But she is always been able to deal by seeking comfort in her grandma Miriam’s sage advice. Now that Miriam is gone, Julie’s entire world is beginning to unravel—her mother loses her job, they lose their house, and Julie has to start over at a new school. So Julie is desperate to discover a way to keep it all together. Desperate for a way to stay connected to her grandma.
Then Julie meets Clark. He is clever, awkward, and slightly damaged—just the sort of friend Julie needs right now. One night, the two use a Ouija board Julie discovered in her new house. She sees this as a chance to reach out to her grandmother. But when they get a response, it isn’t from Miriam. And Julie soon discovers that while she is desperate to regain her past, Clark is haunted by his.
