We never get enough time with those we love.

Fifteen-year-old Brynn Dowd wanted to attend a party on a school night. When her mother forbids her, she flies into a rage and utters the worst possible phrase: "I hope you die." She is soon visited by four spirits with a clear message: Your words have far-reaching consequences.

A poignant and, at times, gritty coming-of-age novel, Dragonfly is the story of learning to love what you have before it's gone.
