Produktbeschreibung

This young adult dark fantasy is "a fascinating, intricate story...a combination of mystery, science fiction, and horror¿an exciting page-turner." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books,starred review Emma Lindsay has problems: no parents, a crazy guardian, and all those times when she blinks away, dropping into other lives so surreal it's as if the story of her life bleeds into theirs. But one thing Emma has never doubted is that she's real. Then she writes "White Space," which turns out to be a dead ringer for part of an unfinished novel by a long-dead writer. In the novel, characters travel between different stories. When Emma blinks, she might be doing the same. Before long, she's dropped into the very story she thought she'd written. Emma meets other kids like her. They discover that they may be nothing more than characters written into being for a very specific purpose. What they must uncover is why they've been brought to this place, before someone pens their end. "One of the marks of a classic horror story is the slow and insidious shifting of the rules within the tale's universe. . . . Bick is a master of the genre, balancing tension, terror, and tedium through repetition and fractured storytelling." ¿ School Library Journal
