\"book<\/a>One photo,

\nfuture ruined.<\/p>\n

Social media has its good side, but not for Ally when someone texts a compromising photo<\/a> of her to the whole school (and it wasn’t a solo portrait).<\/p>\n

She’s blocked out whatever landed her in H hall, a live person surrounded by the ghosts of teen suicides, so Elijah braves the haunted site to help her find the way out.<\/p>\n

Several poetry styles (and a few screenplays) in multiple voices trace the stories of Ally, Elijah, Oscar<\/a> and the ghosts from now through their painful pasts.<\/p>\n

How far would you go to be unforgettable?

My book talk<\/strong>: Once-popular Ally just wants her classmates to forget about that scandalous photo, but someone wanted her forgotten forever.<\/p>\n

She finds herself in “the haunted hallway” at school with the spirits of kids who died nearby, but she’s not dead – yet.<\/p>\n

Elijah knows that if Ally can’t break through the memory wall she built after that photo went viral, she’ll be stuck on H hall forever.<\/p>\n

He loves her too much to let that happen, even though Ally longs only for Davis, who promises to break up with Darla.<\/p>\n

Who sent that photo?
\nWho went on the school roof with Ally?
\nWho wants her out of the picture for good?<\/p>\n

This novel-in-verse traces Ally’s past hopes, current despair, and possible future – the choice is now hers. (One of 6,000 books recommended on www.abookandahug.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
