Track the ghost cat. Survive the woods. Try not to get eaten.
On her twelfth birthday, Lila Banks just wants a quiet hike in the woods behind her house.
Instead, she finds trails that won't stay put—and the ghost of her dead cat.
Orangesicle was never especially nice when he was alive. Now he's roaming the woods, eyes glowing, very interested in what Lila tastes like.
As darkness falls, nothing is what it seems—not the woods, not the mysterious stranger, and definitely not Orangesicle. To make it through the night, Lila will need every stubborn, dramatic, resourceful bone in her body.
The trail shifts. The cat's not normal. And Lila’s only weapon is a pink manicure pocket knife.
