With Ronan, a protective classmate, by her side, Ivy must solve a mystery that could change her life forever. Can she unlock the secrets of the past and alter the course of eternity?

From the publisher

What if you were twelve for all of eternity? From the award-winning author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl comes a magical mystery about a group of kids who have been alive for hundreds of years. At the elite West Archer Academy, all the students are gifted, but four are exceptional. Though the Evers look twelve, they’re actually centuries old, possessing knowledge and talents that make them extraordinary. And boarding school is the perfect cover for their brilliance – and their secret. It’s supposed to be a typical year in the anything-but-typical lives of these “kids” . . . until Ivy Stewart shows up. She resembles an Ever who went missing more than seventy years ago. And Ivy could be the key to unlocking their curse. But ambitious Ivy is at West Archer to achieve her own extraordinary goals, and nothing will distract her. Or so she thinks! With the desperate Evers determined to find answers, and her former classmate – and laid-back cool guy – Ronan determined to protect her, Ivy soon finds herself swept up in a mystery ony she can solve. Will her life be changed forever . . . and ever?
