Sixteen year-old Echo Stone awakens in a cold sweat in a dark room, having no idea where she is or how she got there. But she soon finds out sheβs in Middle House, an orphanage filled with mysteriously troubled kids. Thereβs just one problem: sheβs not an orphan. Her parents are very much alive. She explains this to everyone, but no one will listen. After befriending a sympathetic (and handsome) boy, Echo is able to escape Middle House and rush home, only to discover it sealed off by crime scene tape and covered in the evidence of a terrible and violent crime. As Echo grapples with this world-shattering information, she spots her parents driving by and rushes to flag them down. Standing in the middle of street, waving her arms to get their attention, her parentsβ car drives right through her. She was right. Her parents are aliveβbut sheβs not. Sheβs a ghost, just like all the other denizens of Middle House. Desperate to somehow get her life back and reconnect with her still-alive boyfriend, Echo embarks on a quest to solve her own murder. As the list of suspects grows, the quest evolves into a journey of self-discovery in which she learns she wasnβt quite the girl she thought she was. In a twist of fate, sheβs presented with one last chance to reclaim her life and must make a decision which will either haunt her or bless her forever.ΒΒΒΒ
