A chilling middle grade horror debut featuring a Black,

autistic protagonist who uncovers dark secrets plaguing her new

school.

Eva doesn't love being the new girl at school, but she doesn't

hate it either. Thanks to her mom's job, her family is used to moving

around. But Blythe Academy isn't a normal school. The teachers

are all strange and insular, like they're hiding something from

the students . . .

And of course, there are the ghosts. Eva's new friend Ami tells

her the story – Blythe Academy has always felt haunted, but

fifty years ago part of the school collapsed, killing a classroom

of students and their teacher. Things haven't been the same since.

To most students it's just a scary story. But it's not long until

Eva is having her own terrifying run-ins with the ghosts, and

they seem to be trying to communicate with her. Soon she's having

unnerving visions that seem to predict another collapse. Add in

suddenly having to move into the dorms and her classmates finding

out she's autistic before she's ready to tell them and Eva is completely

overwhelmed.

Eva wants to tell people about her suspicion – she doesn't

think the collapse was just a tragic accident. It was caused by

a malevolent force, and that force is back and hungry for more.

As time begins to run out, will Eva be able to discover the truth

of Blythe Academy and save lives . . . or will it be too late?

A tense, haunting story featuring a Black,

autistic protagonist who uncovers a dark secret at her new school
