A spooky tale of virtual school gone very, very wrong… Lucy is eager to leave her bullies behind and start over at a new school when she moves to Alaska with her parents. Her first days at school are all remote learning; how is she going to make friends when she can’t meet anyone in person? White Pine Secondary School is made up of just thirteen students who all seem really welcoming when they start chatting online. She grows excited about meeting her new friends I.R.L.! But when she turns up at her school, she is met with a crumbling, abandoned building. There’s nothing there, apart from a tiny cemetery with thirteen small headstones poking out of the frozen ground. Headstones with some very familiar names on them… Lucy doesn’t know what to believe. Are her new ‘friends’ playing a mean trick, or is there something far more horrifying at play?
