Since her father’s death, Finch’s life has fallen apart. Her mother just sits and stares. Her brother hangs out with awful Matt, a bully who picks on her. And Finch has the meanest teacher in the school. But most of all, she’s lonely.

A graffiti message in a bathroom stall leads to a surprising friendship, and things start to look up. But her friend’s family is different and secretive in ways Finch cannot quite understand. When cultural differences cause trouble at school and her friend disappears, Finch knows that flying away is not an option. She’s the only one who may have a clue to the disappearance, and she needs to say something, now.
