520 |a After being struck by lightning and brought back to life, sixteen-year-old filmmaker Grace can communicate with ghosts and helps a teenage spirit unravel the mystery of his death. 
520 |a "When sixteen-year-old Grace Martinez, a goth filmmaker in Austin, Texas, is struck by lightning, her crush Blake Abrams miraculously brings her back to life with CPR. Afterwards, the girl discovers she can communicate with ghosts. Among these spectral visitors is a troubled Muslim teen named Mohammad, who appears to her with a noose around his neck. Did he hang himself? As she recovers from her brush with death, the girl struggles with her friends' incredulity about her new ability, evolving relationship with Blake, clueless father and obnoxious stepmother. Meanwhile, haunted by her mother's suicide, Grace delves deeper into the mystery of Mohammad's passing, trying to decipher the ghost's messages -- sent via song lyrics from the 80s! Along the way, Grace discovers a treasure trove of secrets about her own family as well as those of Mohammad and other friends. She also learns that her ancestral spirit guide is none other than La Llorona, the fabled demon woman who killed her own children!"--Back cover.
