After her sister's friend Perdita drowns mysteriously in a nearby lake, sixteen-year-old Arielle has strange, supernatural experiences. Although friendship and family struggles distract her, the psychic incidents are strengthening; Arielle suspects Perdita may be trying to reach her, perhaps with a message about her death. This fast-paced mystery strikes an excellent balance between realism and ghostly horror.
