Remember Me When the Stars Fade

The stars came back wrong the night I turned seventeen.Seventeen-year-old Elodie Finch has spent one hundred and fifty-four days not counting since her best friend Isaac disappeared. Then, on her birthday, seven stars rise on her skin in the shape of a key Isaac invented when they were twelve.In Larkspur Bay, the missing don't just vanish. They are forgotten. Photographs blur, names slide off lists, and families set one fewer plate without knowing why. Every thirty-six years the Silence comes for the people nobody is watching, and every new constellation on Elodie's skin is one of them.With Sage, a new kid who dreams of the same stars, and a cassette Isaac left behind, Elodie has until the October eclipse, when the dark lighthouse at Beacon Point opens onto the place where the lost are kept, to learn the rule her mother learned too late: a name alone isn't enough.Remember Me When the Stars Fade is a luminous, haunting novel about grief, first love, and saying the names of the lost out loud.This second edition has been fully revised.
