In a brilliant high-wire act of weaving two epic narratives - and two unforgettable heroines - into one novel, Scott Westerfeld's latest work is a triumph of storytelling. But Lizzie's not alone in her new calling - she has counsel from a fellow spirit guide, a very desirable one, who is torn between wanting Lizzie and warning her that. ![]() With survival comes the responsibility to guide the restless spirits that walk our world, including one ghost with whom she shares a surprising personal connection. ![]() Told in alternating chapters is Darcy's novel, the thrilling story of Lizzie, who wills her way into the afterworld to survive a deadly terrorist attack. all while dealing with the intoxicating, terrifying experience of falling in love - with another writer. It means sleepless nights rewriting her first draft and struggling to find the perfect ending. That means book tours, parties with her favorite authors, and finding a place to live that won't leave her penniless. ![]() Instead of heading to college, she's living in New York City, where she's welcomed into the dazzling world of YA publishing. But it's really happening - her teen novel is getting published. Darcy Patel is afraid to believe all the hype. ![]()
