Description
"Shari Cooper has died, felt eternal peace in the afterlife, and returned to Earth as a Wanderer--a soul given permission to take the place of another soul in a human body. After regaining her memory of all the incredible things she's seen and experienced, Shari realizes what she's meant to do with the opportunity she's been given: write stories to help young people understand the immortal life that awaits them. Shari records the ancient tale about the origin of mankind and the purpose of human life. What Shari doesn't know is that her new book is true--a mystical blueprint that warns of a great danger to mankind. There is a group of ancient creatures that despises all humans, especially Wanderers. They will go to any length to stop Shari from telling her story."--Provided by publisher.

Person
Christopher Pike is a bestselling young adult novelist and has published several adult books as well—Sati and The Season of Passage being the most popular. In YA, his Last Vampire series—often called Thirst—is a big favorite among his fans. Pike was born in Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in Los Angeles. He lives in Santa Barbara, California, with his longtime partner, Abir. Currently, several of Pike’s books are being turned into films, including The Midnight Club, which Netflix released as part of a ten-part series. The Midnight Club also draws from a half dozen of Pike’s earlier works. Presently, The Season of Passage is being adapted as a feature film by Universal Studios while Chain Letter—one of Pike all-time bestselling books—is also being adapted by Hollywood. At the moment, Pike is hard at work on a new YA series.
