Hello, I Must Be Going

A tender, witty ghost story - and an exciting new direction for the internationally bestselling author of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

Celeste and Sorrel, Reuben and Orlando: high school friends who hang out together all the time. When Sorrel gets hit by a car one rainy night, it''s not surprising the others fall apart in various ways. But it''s not just grief they''re struggling with - it''s parents. Unfair, demanding, challenging parents who are, quite frankly, making their lives a misery. That''s why Sorrel decides she''s not going to be properly dead till she''s sorted out her friends'' lives and can leave them with a clearer sense of what they want out of life. From the bestselling author of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, this is a tender comedic ghost story which touches on some important issues, like bullying, coming out, and the life-denying way the old want to live through the young and impose their failures on them. It''s about the importance of being the person you want to be - or else, being miserable.
