Bookroo's summary

Ashlyn Caverhill's new life in Prescott Junction is haunted by a mysterious ghost train and a cursed radio that predicts her doom. With her father among its victims, Ashlyn must unravel the town's dark secrets. As the radio ominously forecasts her boarding the spectral train, she teams up with Caden and Rachel to break the curse. Will Ashlyn defy fate, or is she destined to join the train's ghostly passengers forever?

From the publisher

Ashlyn Caverhill has left behind her senior year of high school to live with her grandmother, and she’s not happy about it. Small-town Maine has nothing on Toronto. But her mother is ill, and there’s nowhere else to go. Even though it contains one Caden Williams–the hottest guy she’s ever seen–Ashlyn thinks Prescott Junction is the deadest place ever. She may be right. A lot of people seem to die mysteriously down by the long-abandoned train tracks. Her own father died there before she was born. The townspeople whisper about a ghost train that comes for the souls of Prescott Junction’s most troubled citizens, but Ashlyn scoffs–until one night she sees the train for herself and its ghoulish conductor nearly coaxes her on board. Ashlyn’s fear grows when she finds an old radio that haunts the Caverhill family. They’ve thrown it out. It comes back. They’ve buried it. It comes back. They’ve sunk it in the lake, and still it comes back. Even though it’s never plugged in, the radio broadcasts stories of future events that always come to pass. Imagine Ashlyn’s horror when the radio’s top story is “Ashlyn Caverhill boards the ghost train.” Now, with the help of Caden and her new friend Rachel, Ashlyn must find a way to escape the radio’s curse before she’s forced to ride the ghost train forever.
