This is a thrilling and exiting book by the author Catherine Macphail. The novel is about Maxine and her way of handling her brother Derek’s supposed death.
Derek ran away from home one day and he never came back. He ran away because there was this boy in school called Sweeney that bullied him. Sweeney chose his victims carefully and he would not stop harassing them until they moved, or in Derek’s case, ran away.
His parents did everything to find him. But one day the police called and said that they had a body that they wanted them to come and identify it. They went and confirmed that it was Derek’s body.
To Maxine this was a relief. She now thought that her parents would stop thinking about Derek and start thinking about her. She had felt so lonely and left behind when all her parents could think of was Derek.
Her situation did not get any better after her brother’s death. Her mom was still hoping that he would come back. She was thinking about Derek all the time and neglected Maxine. Her dad was not like that. He missed Derek but he knew that he was not coming back. He wanted to let go.
Maxine’s situation was bad and it got worse when she one day received a phone call from someone claiming to be Derek.
Who was that? Was it really Derek?
The only one she could tell this about was her friend Cam. He was helping her to find out who it was that called her.
Maxine thought that some cruel imposter was playing tricks on her because it could not have been Derek, he was dead.
Or was he?

The novel really touched my heart. I started to...
