【當內向男孩遇見已逝少女－改變一生的週三亡者日】

「週三亡者日」是安柏中學聯合小鎮為每一屆八年級學生舉辦的特別活動，每一位學生都會分配到一個死者的身分，這些死者都是因應注意卻未注意的意外而死亡的青少年。孩子們在這一天必須穿著黑色的衣服，化身成隱形的死者，而且會遭到整座城鎮成人的無視(包括學校老師、教職員工、鎮民、店員、家長們)，校方希望藉由活動讓他們體驗什麼是死亡、並因此得到警惕，然而愛玩的孩子們卻只把這一天當作學年度不可錯過的翹課慶典。

沃姆不用等到週三亡者日，就已經清楚明瞭每天被無視、彷彿不存在的感覺。然而，他萬萬沒想到這一天會讓他有截然不同的體驗。他被分配到的死者身分是因車禍在17歲喪命的女孩貝卡，扮演貝卡的身分沒什麼大不了，但他沒想到竟然真的會親自撞見貝卡，而且這個鬼少女還很多話！

由曾獲紐伯瑞文學獎金牌獎、暢銷書Stargirl《星星少女》的作者杰瑞．史賓納利，所推出的最新青少年小說，出乎意料、令人心碎卻又振奮人心，一天的靈異體驗改變了內向男孩的一生。

On Dead Wednesday, every eighth grader in Amber Springs is assigned the name and identity of a teenager who died a preventable death in the past year. The kids don black shirts and for the whole day everyone in town pretends they're invisible—as if they weren't even there. The adults think it will make them contemplate their mortality. The kids know it's a free pass to get away with anything.
 
Worm Tarnauer feels invisible every day. He's perfectly happy being the unnoticed sidekick of his friend Eddie. So he's not expecting Dead Wednesday to feel that different. But he didn't count on being assigned Becca Finch (17, car crash). And he certainly didn't count on Becca showing up to boss him around! Letting this girl into his head is about to change everything.
