Paranormal

There are some people you never forget. In the summer of 1964, Luke D'Angelo falls for one of them-an unforgettable girl named Celeste. Like Luke, Celeste is struggling to find her identity. But unlike Luke, Celeste has special powers, powers that threaten to upset the balance of light and dark in the world. Luke and his mentally challenged sister become fast friends with this curious girl. Set in upstate New York, in a town that is home to a shrimp cocktail plant that belches a foul-smelling tomato-and-fish fog, this coming-of-age tale about a girl with a dream and the teens who want to help her fulfill it is a balance between the comic and the profound. The story resonates with the message that inside each of us is a light that burns so bright that no dark can extinguish it
