Francesca Lia Block, critically acclaimed author of Weetzie Bat, brings this eerie and redemptive ghost story to life with her signature, poetic prose. It's perfect for fans of supernatural stories with a touch of romance like the Beautiful Creatures series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.

After Julie's grandmother passes away, she is forced to move across town to the not-so-fancy end of Beverly Hills and start over at a new school. The only silver lining to the perpetual dark cloud that seems to be following her? Clark—a die-hard fan of Buffy and all things Joss Whedon, who is just as awkward and damaged as she is. Her kindred spirit.

When the two try to contact Julie's grandmother with a Ouija board, they make contact with a different spirit altogether. The real kind. And this ghost will do whatever it takes to come back to the world of the living.

Francesca Lia Block's latest young adult novel is a haunting work about family, loss, love, and redemption.

Industry Reviews

"A true original...[Block] has created something psychologically complex, erotically charged, and unusually poignant."--Booklist (starred review)
"An intoxicating mix of mystery, fantasy, and romance told in her signature poetic style."--Booklist (starred review)
"Newcomers and longtime fans alike will find much to savor"--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Sizzles and satisfies."--Publishers Weekly
PRAISE FOR TEEN SPIRIT: "Poetry and pop culture, life and death--these are just two of the polarities that pulse through Block's elegantly crafted novel. While the spooky goings-on, eerie romance, and magical-hipster Los Angeles setting have broad appeal, the story has even richer treasures in store for readers who dig deeper."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
PRAISE FOR THE FRENZY: "A passionate, dreamy, brief paranormal, with a breath-of-fresh-air monstrous heroine and enjoyably surreal set dressing."--Kirkus Reviews
"A fresh gem."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)
