Book description
'You look as if you've seen a ghost!'
Jade is so used to living in the shadow of Vicky, her loud,
confident best friend, that when a tragic accident occurs, she can
hardly believe that Vicky's no longer around. But Vicky's a sparky
girl who's not going to let a small thing like being dead stop her
from living life to the full! Whether Jade is in lessons, out running
or tentatively trying to make new friends, Vicky is determined to make
her presence felt . . .
