What it's about:

A ghost haunting her boarding school uncovers a teen girl's best kept secrets in the Queen of Scream's deliciously terrifying new novel.

Everyone has heard the story of the Narrow. The river that runs behind the Atwood School is only a few feet across and seemingly placid, but beneath the surface, the waters are deep and vicious. It’s said that no one who has fallen in has ever survived.

Eden White knows that isn’t true. Six years ago, she saw Delphine Fournier fall into the Narrow—and live.

Delphine now lives in careful isolation, sealed off from the world. Even a single drop of unpurified water could be deadly to her, and no one but Eden has any idea why.

Then Eden discovers what happened to the last girl who lived with she was found half-drowned on dry land. Suddenly Eden is waking up to wet footprints tracking to the end of her bed, the sound of rain on the windows when the skies are clear, and a ghostly silhouette in her doorway. Something is haunting Delphine—and now it’s coming for Eden, too.

What it's about:

"In this mystery they were alone, for unlike the real world, with real detectives solving real disappearances, the people they were investigating were ghosts."

Arwin Argyle expects another boring day at school. Instead he is met with a series of disappearances, but only he and his classmate, Emma Li, of whom he has rarely spoken to before, remember those who have gone missing. Everyone else seems adamant that they’ve never existed at all.
