Book overview
Jim MacLeish is just trying to get through high school without losing his grip on reality. Crowded hallways trigger panic. Shadows seem to follow him. And a ghost called Mr. Dark has stalked him ever since he can remember.
When Barb, a star gymnast at Asbury Park High School, suddenly disappears, the entire town fears the worst. But Jim starts seeing terrifying visions of her - not memories, but messages. Something on the other side is warning him.
Because a conspiracy has already begun.
A secret brain-control weapon called a sizzler is being tested on students. Killers disguised as pest-control workers prowl school grounds during a packed football game. Technology is being used to track victims and erase them without a trace. The adults in charge aren't saving the students - they're hunting them.
With his friend Becky at his side, Jim becomes the only person who can pull the truth into the light. Their unexpected guide is the Donut Man, a mysterious figure who appears without warning, delivering cryptic clues from beyond the veil.
If Jim doesn't uncover what really happened to Barb, he will be next. And after him, everyone.

And the final bell might be the last sound you hear.
Paranormal High is a darkly funny, high-voltage supernatural thriller stocked with twisted technology, ghostly warnings, killer conspiracies, and pulse-racing danger right up to the final page.
