Evie and her father move to an orchard beside a cemetery in rural New York. Evie quickly makes two friends: elderly Maggie and a mysterious boy who claims to be a ghost. Believably and with delicacy, Going paints a suspenseful story suffused with the poignant questions of what it means to be alive, and what might await on the other side.
