Connor Cameron has been playing hide and seek his whole life: first, he hid from class presentations. Then he hid from The Killers. Now, he's hiding from speaking his truth-because in a world where speaking is a sin, he would rather stay clean.
When the precocious Ghost Kids find him, he realizes that there are people like him-with barren and bruised bodies-and so, they forge bonds.
But their love is not unconditional. Not quite. If he helps them escape the woods, they help him find The Answer. They help him breathe in a world that drowns him. But as he masquerades as okay by day but crumbles by night, he realizes that he doesn't have much time left to answer:
Is it better to speak or to die?
The Ghost Boy and I is a story about silence-the kind that devours you whole, and what happens when you hide from the truth.
