There are some things about me you should know.

1. I always wear my butterfly shell - even when I’m swimming or sleeping

2. I don’t cut myself anymore

3. I believe in ghosts.

I'd better start at the beginning. The beginning of First Year. Here goes … Marie loves reading, hates Rachel and her gang, The Secret Six, and isn’t sure how she feels about Stella, who’s more than a little odd. Between the mean girls tormenting her by day and a ghostly cry waking her at night, Marie’s first year at secondary school was far from what she had expected … The story of a strange year and a very special shell.
