Either way, she's decided: she's going to finally open the first clue to their annual birthday scavenger hunt Lukas left for her the morning he died, hoping the rest of the clues are still out there. If they are, they might lead Joy to whatever last words Lukas wrote, and toward understanding how to grab onto the future that is meant to be hers"--Publisher marketing.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>An endearing story of love and grief as one girl follows the clues in a scavenger hunt left behind by her best friend</b>, <b>perfect for fans of </b><b><i>Bridge to Terabithia</i></b><b> and </b><b><i>Nine, Ten</i></b><b>.</b></b> <p/>WHEN YOU'VE LOST WHAT MATTERS MOST, <br>HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR WAY BACK HOME? <p/>Joy Fonseca is dreading her 13th birthday, dreading being reminded again about her best friend Lukas's senseless death on this day, one year ago -- and dreading the fact he may have heard what she accidentally blurted to him the night before.

She lives on Long Island with her husband, two sons, and a suspiciously fictional-looking dog named Charlie. When Gae isn't lawyering or writing, you can find her in a pool or the open waters off Long Island. She's still hoping that one day her wetsuit will turn her into a superhero.
