Clare knows she’s at least partly to blame for her problems at school, but she’s learned that it hurts to make friends when you're a foster kid and you’ll be moved on again. It’s a relief to meet Maddy, who knows what it’s like to be in the system. But then Maddy disappears. Clare has opened her heart at last, and she can't let it go – will she find her friend? A heartwarming story about friendship with a supernatural twist.
