If you think being a teenager is tough, try living it when you're dead. That's the challenge faced by fourteen-year-old Lucy O'Sullivan when an act of kindness goes horribly wrong. Thrown into an afterlife that is far from heavenly, Lucy struggles to navigate her way through a world complicated by dream tornadoes, a pint-sized General, dinosaur stampedes and an irritable Station Master bent on making her death a living nightmare. Determined to unravel the riddle of why she's been assigned to this strange celestial way station, Lucy uncovers a destiny dangerously intertwined with the hooded stranger stalking her dreams and learns that her life is far more important - and complex - than she ever imagined.
