James, fifteen-years-old, goes unnoticed at his old school.

He convinces new friends that he’s lived on the wild side. Slipping into a “punk” persona is seamless until he encounters IMs from ghost44. Demon-filled dreams clash with reality which soon takes control of his life. Does the true James ever reveal himself? (Grades 9 & up)
