YA
Sophomore Kerry is thrilled to be allowed into a clique of super-cool seniors. When the other girls are killed in a car crash, Kerry feels she's "three quarters dead"--until the dead return. Peck masterfully uses a first-person viewpoint to trace his protagonist's journey. Wrapping events in the shrouds of a ghost story balances his message about the power of the peer group.
