Fifteen-year-old Deal, forced to stay with her grandmother, is good at playing the "Game"--stealing other girls' boyfriends, then breaking their hearts.   Now, even though she knows she shouldn't, she goes after classmate Mark. Never mind that he has a friendly, also very cool, girlfriend, or that another boy, uncool Laurie, is far more appealing. He is happy, hardworking, fun, and seems to be able to read Deal's mind. Laurie is fascinated by the ghost that resides in the music room, and Deal is drawn into the mystery, which seems to be connected to Gram.   As Deal unravels the ghost's story , she uncovers some surprising truths about her grandmother and herself.
