<b>In this novella sequel to the <i> New York Times–</i>bestselling <i>Shadowshaper,</i> a couple is reunited by a missing black girl, a ghost haunting a newspaper office.</b> <br> Trying to shake off the strange malaise that separates her from even her girlfriend Izzy, Tee decides to take over the <i>Bed-Stuy Searchlight</i> for the summer. But then she finds an alluring violet dress in the newspaper office, and a cute ghost girl no one else can see. <br> Izzy can tell Tee's drifting away from her—she misses Izzy's shows and skips shadowshaper practice—and she won't stand for it. Yet when a girl goes missing in Bed-Stuy, Izzy needs Tee to get the word out and help investigate. Can they break through their distance and reconnect before someone else dies? <br> Reviews for the <i>New York Times–bestselling</i> <i>Shadowshaper</i>: <br> "Magnificent." — <i>New York Times Book Review</i> <br> "A must." — <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <br> "Exceptional." — <i>Publishers Weekly</i> <br> "Smart writing with a powerful message that never overwhelms the terrific storytelling." — <i>Booklist</i> <br> "Joyful and assertive and proud, and makes me want to read everything else of Older's, for more of these voices, connections and lives." —National Public Radio
