One spring afternoon after school, Amber arrives home on her bike. It’s just another perfectly normal day. But when Amber’s mom sees her, she screams.
Because Amber died seven years ago, hit by a car while on the very same bicycle she’s inexplicably riding now.
This return doesn’t only impact Amber. Her sister, Melissa, now seven years older, must be a new kind of sibling to Amber. Amber’s estranged parents are battling over her. And the changes ripple farther and farther out: Amber’s friends, boyfriend, and even people she met only once have been deeply affected by her life and death. In the midst of everyone’s turmoil, Amber is struggling with herself. What kind of person was she? How and why was she given this second chance?
This magnificent tour de force by acclaimed author Gayle Forman brilliantly explores the porous veil between life and death, examines the impact that one person can have on the world, and celebrates life in all its beautiful complexity.

The first in a dazzling, commercial, historical adventure series
set in the extravagant and deadly world of the French Revolution. A
whirlwind of action, science and magic reveals, with a diverse cast
of fearless heroines, a band of rebels like no other. Camille, a
revolutionary's daughter, leads a band of outcasts - a runaway
girl, a deserter, an aristocrat in hiding. As the Battalion des
Morts they cheat death, saving those about to meet a bloody end at
the blade of Madame La Guillotine. But their latest rescue is not
what she seems. The girl's no aristocrat, but her dark and
disturbing powers means both the Royalists and the Revolutionaries
want her. But who and what is she? In a fast and furious story full
of the glamour and excesses, intrigue and deception of these
dangerous days, no one can be trusted, everyone is to be feared. As
Camille learns the truth, she's forced to choose between loyalty to
those she loves and the future.
