In the playhouse, things are simple. Wake up, eat breakfast, go to the classroom, exercise for an hour, and then you wander for the rest of the day until bedtime. Seems pretty easy and it's not entirely bad. You aren't alone. But I've never seen a cloud, or the sun. I don't know what the moon looks like or how natural winds feels. We have simulators upon simulators but I know it's not the same. And then one day, she showed up. A girl who went by Laney. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, not that I had seen many girls. But to make things better, she's from outside the playhouse and the tales she tells me both frighten me and intrigue me. She knows what's going on and she knows what the playhouse is and all she tells me is that it's not what it seems.

Dawn Davis is an eighteen-year-old girl. Or, at least, she was, until the horrible horse accident that lead to her death. Now, she's a three-hundred-eighteen-year-old (sort of) ghost that's not quite dead (or a ghost). She's stayed the small town of Blue Falls in North Carolina. It's so small, it's unheard of. Dawn is a spiritual being called an In-between. She is something that isn't quite a dead, and not quite alive. In-betweens are physically bound to the city they died in, and usually stay in their old homes. As an In-between, she is never heard or seen. At least, she hadn't been until a certain, special, sixteen-year-old Artemis Alexander finds her lurking around. Artemis and his big family just moved into the house on the grounds where Dawn used to live. Dawn needs to find out why this Artemis boy can see her. It's never happened in the three hundred years she'd been (not quite) dead. Artemis is your regular kid of science, the one you barely see in the background, and he is far from superstitious. Artemis doesn't believe in anything science does not explain. So how do you think he feels when he begins to see people that glow but aren't quite there? Or how about one that's not quite dead?
