"Book cover image may be different than what appears on the actual book."

â€œDead girl walking,â€ the boys say in the halls.
â€œTell us your secret,â€ the girls whisper, one toilet to another.
I am that girl.
I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.
I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame.

Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the skinniest. But what comes after size zero and size double-zero? When Cassie succumbs to the demons within, Lia feels she is being haunted by her friendâ€™s restless spirit.

In her most emotionally wrenching, lyrically written book since the multiple-award-winning Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson explores Liaâ€™s descent into the powerful vortex of anorexia, and her painful path toward recovery.
