Theo Tan doesn't want a spirit companion. He just wants to be a
normal American kid, playing video games and using cirth pendants
to cast his spells like everyone else. But, when his older brother
dies, Theo ends up inheriting Jamie's fox spirit, Kai. Kai isn't
happy about this either. Theo is nothing like Jamie, and the two of
them have never gotten along. Yet, it soon becomes clear that
something strange is going on with Jamie's internship at Reapling
Corp, and the only way onto the campus is the highly competitive
'Know Your Roots' summer camp program, a celebration of Chinese and
Indian cultures designed to help connect students with their
heritage. Can Theo and Kai put aside their differences long enough
to honour Jamie's last wishes, or will the mystery he died for
remain unsolved forever?

suspense that questions the line between romantic 'research' and
stalking in the age of the internet, analyzing the roles played by
abuse, misogyny, racism, and violence in contemporary
relationships."-Booklist "Set against a Northern California private
school backdrop, the sensational plot is riddled with twists that
come at a furious pace...A suspenseful page-turner."-Kirkus Reviews
"This tense, quick-moving thriller is also a thought-provoking
story about the different shapes of abuse. Fans of high-drama
fiction with a dark edge, like Karen McManus's One of Us Is Lying
or Gretchen McNeil's #murdertrending, will be hooked."-School
Library Journal
