(4) YA Attending a new high school inspires James to reinvent himself. Yet the absurd lies he tells distance him from his friends and feed a recurring nightmare. Only instant messages from the anonymous, but thinly veiled, ghost44 anchor him to reality. Mitchell's tale of isolation and self-destruction teeters between convincing and didactic as James's behavior grows more disturbing and adults rally to support him.
