When Jessica sits next to Francis on a bench during recess, he's surprised to learn that she's a ghost, and she's surprised, too, because Francis is the first person who has been able to see her since she died. Before long, Francis and Jessica are best friends, enjoying life more than they ever have, but when they meet more friends who can also see Jessica, the question arises: What is it that they have in common? Does it have something to do with Jessica being a ghost?
A timeless and uplifting novel, Friends for Life is a funny, moving, and powerful tale filled with humour and heart about the power of friendship to shine a warm light into dark places.
"A sensitive novel that illustrates how easy it is to feel alone, the ways differences can be isolating, and the power of friendship and connection. This memorable story will leave readers thinking about how small actions can have a significant impact." -- Publishers Weekly
