Ethereal

They said my voice was ethereal: melodic, hypnotizing, angelic. But then, suddenly, it dawns on me -- hitting me in the head like a dodgeball every time we play it in Gym.

How close they were to the truth.

Charlotte Cross: the shy girl who blanches when asked to publicly speak; the clumsy girl who gets picked last in P.E. due to her lack of hand-eye coordination and two left feet; the apparent ghost who once, when asked to go to the bathroom, was given a tour of the school because her teacher thought she was a new student. She was completely ignored, overlooked by all.

That is, until the fateful day she's asked to sing.

Now, Charlie's got the attention of everyone: her swoon-worthy neighbor, who seems to be more of an enigma than an actual human being; three crazy teenagers trying to convince her to join their Nameless Band; the “populars", who have more secrets than an episode of Pretty Little Liars and more issues than Vogue; and that elderly woman on the rocks who can blink out of existence in a split second. And then, it happens: the bodies. Dead bodies to be exact, popping up like daisies everywhere, seemingly right after The Discovery.

Strange things are rising in Calico Bay, and Charlie's only thought?

She should of kept her mouth shut.
