Miranda is an ordinary sixth grader, until she starts receiving mysterious messages from somebody who knows all about her, including things that have not even happened yet. Each message brings her closer to believing that only she can prevent a tragic death. Until the final note makes her think she’s too late.

A bit of a disappointment, but that is 100% because of wrong expectations rather than the fault of the book itself. I hadn't realized that it was a children's book, and thus approached it with a completely wrong mindset. Had I realized from the outset that this was the case (and probably also if I had read it as a physical book rather than an audiobook) I would likely have enjoyed it a lot more, as the plot was very enjoyable once I adjusted my expectations.
