Being born during a hurricane is unlucky, and      12-year-old Caroline has had her share of bad luck lately. She's      hated and bullied by everyone in her small school      on St. Thomas of the US Virgin Islands, a spirit only she can      see won't stop following her, and - worst of all - Caroline's mother      left home one day and never came back.         But when a new student named Kalinda arrives,      Caroline's luck begins to turn around. Kalinda, a solemn girl from      Barbados with a special smile for everyone, becomes Caroline's      first and only friend -- and the person for whom Caroline has begun      to develop a crush.         Now, Caroline must find the strength to confront her feelings      for Kalinda, brave the spirit stalking her through the islands, and      face the reason her mother abandoned her. Together, Caroline and      Kalinda must set out in a hurricane to find Caroline's missing      mother -- before Caroline loses her for ever.
