(3) YA In Evie's family, turning fifteen awakens a "Gift" meant to help others. Evie is horrified that her Gift is the ability to see and converse with ghosts, particularly when the ghost who won't leave her alone turns out to be intimately connected to her life. Williams manipulates ghost-story expectations to deliver an atmospheric, contemplative tale of friendship, compassion, and purpose.
