 * Good sections to read aloud:**

Susannah Simon, the main character, is a mediator (someone who communicates with the dead). One of the people that she is in constant communication with (and is also in love with) is Jesse, a ghost from 1850. Jesse is dead, but he and Susannah talk on a daily basis. It’s Jesse that tries to keep Susannah away from Paul Slater, another mediator who has just moved to town and started at her high school, but Susannah is too intrigued by what Paul has to say about their “talents” and falls into his trap. Will it be too late before Jesse realizes what is going on to save her? Can ghosts really help save people?
