Life: Lost & Found

Madeline isn't dead-she just feels like it. Her mother was killed years ago, her dad is more of a theory than a father, and her social life is confined to her daydreams. She's a five-foot eight-inch industrial-strength criticism magnet, and she's only invisible when she doesn't want to be. When someone she barely knows invites her to the school graduation party, she would rather eat a bowl of live spiders than attend-but Madeline is no stranger to bad ideas, and she accepts. She has no idea she's walking into a trap. Madeline doesn't know she's about to lose her dearest treasure, or that a secret she kept as a child will send her moving across the state. She doesn't know she's just become a flower in a mysterious garden box, or that her darkest wish is coming to get her. She's only just beginning to realize that her life was lost seven years ago, and that fate is about to give it back to her-whether she wants it or not. The question is: can she make it a life worth keeping?
