About the book
> Thirteen year-old Johnny Merrimon had the perfect life: a warm home and loving parents; a twin sister, Alyssa, with whom he shared an irreplaceable bond.

No one else believes that Alyssa is still alive, but Johnny is certain that she is---confident in a way that he can never fully explain. More
