內容簡介: |
Now I lay me down to
sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to
keep.
And if I should die before I
awake,
I pray the popular attend my
wake.
Charlotte Usher feels
practically invisible at school, and then one day she really is
invisible. Even worse: she''s dead. And all because she choked on a
gummy bear. But being dead doesn''t stop Charlotte from wanting to
be popular; it just makes her more creative about achieving her
goal.
If you thought high school was a
matter of life or death, wait till you see just how true that is.
In this satirical, yet heartfelt novel, Hurley explores the
invisibility we all feel at some times and the lengths we''ll go to
be seen.
