Desperate to reclaim their lives, the three agree to the terms of the bargain their music teacher proposes. They will be given a series of magical tasks; while they undertake them, they may return to their families and friends, but they can tell no one where they've been. In the end, there will be winners and there will be losers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut their resurrection has attracted the notice of other supernatural figures, all with their own agendas. As Laura, Daniel, and Mo grapple with the pieces of the lives they left behind, and Laura's sister, Susannah, attempts to reconcile what she remembers with what she fears, these mysterious others begin to arrive, engulfing their community in danger and chaos, and it becomes imperative that the teens solve the mystery of their deaths to avert a looming disaster. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWelcome to Kelly Link's incomparable Lovesend, where you'll encounter love and loss, laughter and dread, magic and karaoke, and some really good pizza.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKelly Link\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eWhite Cat, Black Dog; Get in Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in fiction; \u003ci\u003eMagic for Beginners; Stranger Things Happen;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePretty Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e.
