Official synopsis Publisher
Me: Lucas Swain—I’m nearly sixteen years old and live in London. I was fairly normal until the night I found Violet. Then everything changed.
The missing: Dad. He disappeared five years ago. Nobody knows what happened to him, and nobody cares except me. It’s enough to drive you crazy.
The dead: That’s Violet . . . in the urn. Speaking of crazy—I know she’s trying to tell me something, and I think it’s about my father. . . .
I may have met Violet after she died. But it didn’t stop me from getting to know her. . . .
