In Luisa Perkins's new novel, a teenage girl discovers that a young boy's spirit can shake loose of his body, and she sets out on a daring quest to restore everything to its proper place. Its storytelling is propulsive, taut—without a single unnecessary word—vivid, romantic, and fascinating.”
—Glen Nelson, author of Digging Up the Pasha's Garden
