Her father is agoraphobic, her twin brother can't be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck. According to the legend of a curse, Esther Solar's family is destined to die from their fears. Esther avoids pretty much everything: elevators, small spaces and crowds; haircuts, spiders, dolls. She even keeps a record of in her semi-definitive list of worst nightmares. Then Jonah Smallwood swindles her out of her phone, money, a fruit roll-up-- and her list of fears. He sets a challenge: to break the curse, they will face one terrifying fear at a time. Including one not on the list: love.-- Adapted form dust jacket. |

| Author Notes: |
She moved to Sydney for college (and safety), where she cut her writing teeth as the editor of the student magazine at the University of New South Wales. She kept gathering tales as an exchange student in Hong Kong and as a foreign correspondent in Amsterdam. Her first book, Our Chemical Hearts , was released in 2016, and was published in over twenty countries. Her three greatest fears are heights, dark caves . . . and (perhaps worst of all) frogs. |
