A lovely, bittersweet tearjerker about living life to its fullest. Their journey is filled with heartwarming encounters with helpful but realistically wary strangers feeding their bodies and touching their hearts. If only December 15 weren’t closing in fast, Jem could even be happy with her new romance. When the two of them are seen running away from a massive terrorist attack in London-Jem had warning of the deaths, hadn’t she?-they flee the police investigation and run away into the country. Spider is the gangly, twitchy, stinky classmate who’s the first person ever to try to be Jem’s friend. Though she’s not entirely typical, as most troubled teens don’t see the death dates of every person they meet, floating in eight stark numerals over each head. Now she’s a typical troubled teen, skipping her special-ed classes almost as often as she goes.
Jem’s been bouncing between foster homes since her mother overdosed when Jem was only six.
