THIRTEEN-YEAR OLD EVA wakes up in the hospital unable to remember anything since the picnic on the beach. Her mother leans over the bed and begins to explain. A traffic accident, a long coma . . .

But there is something, Eva senses, that she’s not being told. There is a price she must pay to be alive at all. What have they done, with their amazing medical techniques, to save her? “Unusually rewarding and challenging.”—Booklist, Starred

“Sure to entertain, but thought-provoking as well.”—Kirkus Reviews, Pointer
