A CERTAIN SLANT OF LIGHT In the high school English class of a teacher she
has been haunting, Helen feels them: for the first time in 130 years,
human eyes are looking at her. They belong to James, a boy who has not
seemed remarkable until now. And Helen — terrified but intrigued —
is drawn to him, a ghost living in the body of a teenage boy. The fact
that he is in a body and she is not presents this unlikely couple with
their first challenge. But as the lovers struggle to find a way to be
together, they begin to discover the secrets of their former lives and
of the young people they come to possess. (quoted from the Houghton Mifflin catalog)
