Dying to Go Viral

by Sylvia McNicoll

tagged: death & dying
Description

What would you do if you only had one week to live? A skateboarding accident claims 14-year-old Jade's life when she skitches (hitches herself to a car) in order to appear on youtube; she neglected to wear the helmet she promised her father she would always use. In a Japanese garden she meets her mother who died when Jade was eight. She begs for the chance to return to earth if only to improve relations between her brother and father and Mom negotiates a one week do-over for her. What can she achieve? A date for her father? A new job for her brother? Her first kiss? Jade can't tell anyone what is going on, which is bad enough, but after discovering a love for life that she's never known, will she be able to let go? Or will she try to cheat fate?
