Leah Willow knows the story of the Crying Girl. Everyone in her school does. It's one of those local ghost stories that every town has. But when her friends unintentionally release her at a sleepover, Leah discovers that the Crying Girl is more than just a story. With the pressures of her A-Level exams, the arrival of a new co-worker at her weekend job, and the dreaded school prom approaching, the last thing Leah needs is her two friends suddenly falling out as the Crying Girl begins her quest for revenge. Leah knows she has to stop the malevolent spirit before her whole life is torn apart, but to do so she needs to uncover a dark secret within her own family, and work out who - if anyone - she can trust before her nightmare will end. And she is fast running out of time.
