From PEN Awardâwinning author Carol Lynch Williams comes a âhaunting readâ (Booklist) in this coming-of-age tale about a girl who can talk to the deadâeven if she would rather not.
Evie Messenger knows that her family is different from other families. But it isnât until her fifteenth birthday that the Messenger gift is revealed to her. Evie has the familyâs giftâa special power. Soon she realizes she is able to see and talk to the deadâghostsâoften with no idea who the person was. Or as Evie says: âI see Dead People. Itâs a Messenger gift.â That doesnât 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 Evieâs family?
