Sara now understands who she really is — why she has paranormal powers, why she's living in Stellamar, and why it's important to have Lady Azura in her life. What she doesn't understand is how her best friend, Lily Randazzo, can have a crush on a boy who's not alive. Kyle and his family died in a car accident while visiting Stellamar over the holidays, but Kyle isn't aware of his sudden death and can still walk around like he's alive. Only Sara knows he's really a spirit, and if she doesn't say something to Lily, there could be traumatising consequences.

Lady Azura firmly warns Sara against interfering, saying that this sort of spirit phenomena is a recipe for disaster. But Sara knows she has no choice...she has to protect her best friend and help Kyle learn the truth. Can she do so without hurting Lily in the process?

This series should be read in order.

Sara Collins is a normal 12 year old girl with an abnormal secret: she is psychic. Sara has had her abilities for as long as she can remember, but she doesn't like to talk about them. She hopes that if she ignores them, they might go away. Sara wants nothing more than to have a normal life, and to her "normal" doesn't include anything paranormal.

But Sara's abilities aren't going away... In fact, changes are happening in Sara's life that will make her abilities even more powerful. Her life is about to be turned upside down because she's moving across the country with her dad to an old shore town in New Jersey. A shore town with a lot of history... and, unfortunately for Sara, more than its fair share of ghosts.

An intriguing series of moderately short chapter books which combine adventure, fantasy & paranormal themes with a punchy young heroine trying to grapple with some normal (and some not-so-normal) teen issues.
