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

  The chilling middle grade debut from the brilliant
  G. Haron Davis

   Filled with horror and thrilling suspense that
  will keep you on the edge of your seat!
