American Ghosts

 

After her parent's divorce, seventeen-year-old Maia Tierney 

and her mother move from their beach house in California to a new home in rural Tennessee. From the first day at her  new school, Maia makes new friends--and new enemies.

​

When nineteen of her schoolmates become victims of a single, horrifying act of violence, Maia finds herself the focal point of a media firestorm and the leader of a national movement. All the while she is haunted by the ghost of one of the victims and terrorized by those who want to silence her.

 

American Ghosts is a supernatural thriller, an homage to student journalism, and a profound look at a group of high school students as they adjust to, and fight against, a sometimes violent world.
