Is this Hell or is this High School?
THE ASCENDERS Takes You To the In-between Where
Teens Who Died Young Go On the Epic Adventure of an After-Lifetime
QUICK REVIEW OF THE BOOK:
Walker Callaghan doesn't know what happened to her.
One minute she was living her teenage life in suburban Chicago...and the next
minute, she was in a strange place and in a brand new school with absolutely no
homework, no rules, and no consequences.
Walker Callaghan, 17, is dead.
She doesn't go to heaven or hell. She lands at The
Academy, a middle realm where teenagers have one thing in
common: They were the morning announcement at their high schools because they
died young.
These high school kids are now caught in a strange
“in-between” zone where life hasn’t changed very much. In fact, this
special teen limbo looks a lot like life in a quaint Michigan
town complete with jocks, popular girls and cliques. "There are
even cheerleaders in death," Walker observes. It's
not a coincidence that the music teacher is a guy named Kurt who "used to
have this band." The drama teacher, Heath, is crush worthy because back in
his life, he starred in some superhero movie.
Principal King explains the rules -- there are
none. Why? You can't die twice.
There is no homework.
No tests.
No SATS.
You're just there to learn because the human brain
isn't fully formed until you're 24.
By the way, you can't get hurt physically, so race
your Harley off that hillside. But falling in love is the most dangerous thing
you can do ...because no one knows how long you'll stay in this realm or what's
next.
"Losing someone you love would be like dying
twice," Walker says.

Walker Callaghan has just arrived at the Academy
after a tragic car accident. “Is this heaven or is this high school?” she asks.
She finds out her new life is a bit of both as she
falls in love with tat-covered, bad boy Daniel Reid who is about to
break the only sacred rule of this place. He's looking for a
portal to return back to the living realm.
He needs just one hour to retrieve his younger
brother who strangely never arrived at The Academy. Bobby is an Earth
Bound Spirit, stuck at a plane crash site that took both of
their lives as their rich father piloted his private jet nose-first into a
cornfield on Christmas Eve.
Walker loves Daniel and risks it all to go with
him.
Have they learned enough to outsmart dangerous
forces while transporting a young child with them? Can their love survive the
fragmented evil parts of themselves that are now hunting them down as they try
to find a way back to the middle?
At the Academy, you learn the lessons of an
after-lifetime.
