Young Adult Paranormal
In the tradition of Memento and Inception comes a thrilling
and scary young adult novel about blurred reality where
characters in a story find that a deadly and horrifying
world exists in the space between the written lines. Seventeen-year-old Emma Lindsay has problems: a head full of
metal, no parents, a crazy artist for a guardian whom a
stroke has turned into a vegetable, and all those times when
she blinks away, dropping into other lives so ghostly and
surreal it's as if the story of her life bleeds into theirs.
But one thing Emma has never doubted is that she's real. Then she writes "White Space," a story about these kids
stranded in a spooky house during a blizzard. Unfortunately, "White Space" turns out to be a dead ringer
for part of an unfinished novel by a long-dead writer. The
manuscript, which she's never seen, is a loopy Matrix meets
Inkheart story in which characters fall out of different
books and jump off the page. Thing is, when Emma blinks, she
might be doing the same and, before long, she's dropped into
the very story she thought she'd written. Trapped in a
weird, snow-choked valley, Emma meets other kids with dark
secrets and strange abilities: Eric, Casey, Bode, Rima, and
a very special little girl, Lizzie. What they discover is
that they--and Emma--may be nothing more than characters
written into being from an alternative universe for a very
specific purpose. Now what they must uncover is why they've been brought to
this place--a world between the lines where parallel
realities are created and destroyed and nightmares are
written--before someone pens their end.
