The In-Between by Barbara Stewart
She’s a freak.
She tried to kill herself.
She’s ugly.
She’s fat.
She’s only fourteen.
Yes, Elanor Moss attempted to end her life…but that was Old Ellie. New Ellie lives in a new house, goes to a new school, and has new friends. New Ellie even has a new definition of crazy: being able to see your dead sister…the one who died in the womb.
She’s popular.
She has the scars.
She’s beautiful.
She’s skinny.
She’s only fourteen.
Madeline Torus is Ellie’s twin sister, the one that died in the womb. Madeline and Ellie have never been able to communicate…up until the car crash that took the life of their father and almost claimed Ellie. At last, after having been brought back from the dead by doctors, Ellie is able to talk to Madeline.
But is that really what Ellie wants?
Madeline is jealous. She’s angry that Ellie spends time with her friends instead of her own sister. She’s angry that those new anti-depressants shut her out. She’s angry that Ellie got to live the life she couldn’t have.
But no one can know about Madeline. If Ellie tells, she knows they’ll call her crazy. Soon, even she starts to doubt her own sanity. How can Ellie be sure she’s living in reality if everything in her life tells her she’s not?
