"Claudia Jones was missing for months--possibly abducted, possibly by aliens. When she returns to Blithe dale High School, questions still surround her disappearance. And her presence has a strange effect on the students around her. Something almost...supernatural? Nigel feels Claudia's aura most of all and starts wondering how to get next to her. Brett, Nigel's former sort-of romantic rival, is trying to keep a distance from everybody. Emily has managed a break from both of them, but she's about to find herself near a predator in nice-guy clothing. And Paula, Emily's ex-best friend, is about to have a breakthrough that changes her whole world."--Page [4] of cover.
