Description

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?
