From PEN Award– winning author Carol Lynch Williams comes a “ haunting read” (Booklist) in this coming-of-age tale about a girl who can talk to the dead— even if she would rather not.
Evie Messenger knows that her family is different from other families. But it isn’ t until her fifteenth birthday that the Messenger gift is revealed to her. Evie has the family’ s gift— a special power. Soon she realizes she is able to see and talk to the dead— ghosts— often with no idea who the person was. Or as Evie says: “ I see Dead People. It’ s a Messenger gift. ” That doesn’ t necessarily mean she wants the Messenger gift. So Evie tries to ignore it but soon she finds she cannot. Can Evie find a way to live her life without letting her power take over? And what if the dead person is someone close to Evie’ s family?
