My name is Susannah Simon, and I am a mediator -- a liason between the living and the dead. If you think this gets in the way of my attempt at a normal sixteen-year-old life, you"d be right. You try going to the mall while constantly being accosted by the undead.Not that this is a bad thing all the time. Like, for example, when I discovered my bedroom is haunted by Jesse, the ghost of a nineteenth-century hottie. While I haven"t made much progress with him (only one kiss so far), I remain optimistic. Jesse"s inexplicable resistance to my charms is not my only obstacle, though: there"s this other guy. A live one, who has the same gift of gab with the undead I have. In the same way I"m after Jesse, this guy is after me. And he knows how to send Jesse to the Great Beyond. For good.So I guess you could say I"m haunted. I just never thought it would be by someone who isn"t dead.
