Description

Jaylin is studying for a stressful English exam when she receives a message from her best friend, Fatima.
The thing is, Fatima died a year ago in a terrible traffic accident. At first, Jaylin thinks someone is playing a horrible prank, but as the texts become more detailed, containing secrets that just the two of them shared, Jaylin realizes she’s either going mad or Fatima is actually reaching out to her from beyond the grave. Then Fatima shares one last secret and asks Jaylin to set the record straight around the circumstances of her death. Jaylin is torn. Is she strong enough to relive losing her best friend all over again?

Grave Message is part of the Orca Anchor series of hi-lo novels and written at a 1.9 reading level.

Orca's hi-lo is printed in an ultra-readable, highly-accessible format with dyslexia-friendly, more readable font, increased spacing between words and lines and cream-colored paper to minimize contrast so readers can focus more easily.
