Chloe Saunders sees dead people. Yes, like in the films. The problem is,
in real life saying you see ghosts gets you a one-way ticket to the psych
ward. And at 15, all Chloe wants to do is fit in at school and maybe get
a boy to notice her. But when a particularly violent ghost haunts her,
she gets noticed for all the wrong reasons. Her seemingly crazed
behaviour earns her a trip to Lyle House, a centre for 'disturbed teens'.
At first Chloe is determined to keep her head down. But then her room
mate disappears after confessing she has a poltergeist, and some of the
other patients also seem to be manifesting paranormal behaviour. Could
that be a coincidence? Or is Lyle House not quite what it seems...? Chloe
realizes that if she doesn't uncover the truth, she could be destined for
a lifetime in a psychiatric hospital. Or could her fate be even worse...?
Can she trust her fellow students, and does she dare reveal her dark
secret?
HarperCollins made this super-easy for me, by providing a huge
excerpt--the first nine chapters (a quarter of the book) free online.
So I'll just link directly to that:
