Thirteen-year-old Evy Hayes has spent the past year struggling with the guilt of a promise she made to her best friend, Sherry-a promise that kept Evy silent when Sherry needed her most.
One year later, Evy is granted a second chance to do the right thing when Sherry returns from the grave and leads her across town to a mysterious girl named Emily.
At first, Emily seems like someone Evy could become friends with. But the more Evy learns about her, the more she realizes she doesn't know Emily at all. Her stories don't add up. Her behavior raises questions. And something about her home life feels terribly wrong.
Determined not to repeat the mistake she made with Sherry, Evy sets out to uncover the truth about Emily-even if getting the answers means risking her own life.
Will Evy have the guts to speak up in the face of terror?
