| This is the story of Jo O'Connor, a girl who never gets to stay at the same school for long. She's used to moving several times a year, and the midnight phone calls her father makes just before a move.
Except after they move to Seattle, she wants to stay put. She meets Alex who seems to be interested in her, despite her best efforts to fade into the surroundings (a survival technique for the "new kid"). It turns out her father witnessed a murder some years ago, is under danger from the murderer, and they have to move. To fool the murderer, Jo and her father stage their own deaths and she takes on a new identity at a nearby high school. The plot thickens when students at her old school see her "ghost." Things get out of hand and before she knows it, her "ghost" has been nominated for the slot of prom queen. | ||
