Summary

In a world where touch brings oblivion, a girl with hands that make things vanish must decide if her power is a curse—or salvation.Nine-year-old Laika has spent her entire life within the walls of a secretive hospital run by religious fanatics, where her deadly touch is contained by milk cartons tied around her hands.When a burned boy named Helio arrives and discovers that Laika’s touch reveals his inner light instead of destroying him, their unusual powers set in motion a dangerous chain of events.As the hospital’s sinister purpose is revealed, Laika must confront the self-loathing that has defined her existence and embrace the very ability she’s feared—because in the void left by her touch lies the only path to freedom.*A haunting tale of found family, self-acceptance, and the courage to create your own destiny when the world has already decided what you are.

    THE MUCH-AWAITED SEQUEL TO “A GHOST FOR A CLUE” 
    With the help of NASA, a computer glitch, and a ghost, Bram Morrison, a robotics engineer, may have given science a new means to put death on hold. But despite the new landscape he’s opened up, the Great Beyond is still territory with no solid ground for science to stand on. 
    Still helping Torula Jackson, a biologist, realize her dream of studying what happens to consciousness after death, Bram risks his reputation, future, and ambitions by revealing his growing belief in the bizarre. Despite his modifications on the Verdabulary software that has helped ghosts reach out to the living, it will take more than apparitions in 3D glass chambers to convince scientists and doctors that the afterlife exists. When the ensuing research ends up with more questions than answers, trouble brews for all the souls still fighting for a foothold in the afterworld. 
    Can souls really persist indefinitely in crystal storage devices called willdiscs? What about Franco, Bram’s recently deceased friend, can he help provide answers? These and more mysteries unfold in A Ghost in a Bottle, the second book in the IMMORTOLOGY series—a bold blend of hard science fiction and the supernatural.
