Bad things happen when fact and fiction collide.
Miranda Tate and her closest friends have been let in on a powerful
secret: their teachers are famous dead writers.
After a heroic first semester, Miranda's got Bard Academy's ghost faculty in her debt, a new boyfriend in hot basketball player Ryan
Kent, and she's just turned in a paper about The Scarlet Letter that
she's sure is A material. But when the Bard Queen Bee, Parker Rodham,
claims she's attacked in the woods, Ryan is all too happy to play
bodyguard. Then teachers start disappearing and the campus is abuzz with news of the Hooded Sweatshirt Stalker – not to mention sightings of a
monster in the woods. But it's Miranda who feels like a moving target
when she is accused not only of plagiarism but of suspicious involvement in the attacks!
Meanwhile, rumors are flying about what it really means that
Miranda's wearing Ryan's varsity letterman jacket. And she just can't
shake her nagging feelings for Heathcliff, who entrusted her with the
locket that keeps him in the "real" world even though every one else
thinks he's back where he belongs, in the pages of Wuthering Heights. Is he the campus stalker? Does she like him more than she likes Ryan? And
how is that possible if he's only a character from a book?
