Caroline Murphy is a Hurricane Child.

Being born during a hurricane is unlucky, and 12-year-old Caroline
has had her share of bad luck lately. She's hated and bullied by
everyone in her small school on St. Thomas of the US Virgin Islands,
a spirit only she can see won't stop following her, and - worst
of all - Caroline's mother left home one day and never came
back.

But when a new student named Kalinda arrives, Caroline's luck begins
to turn around. Kalinda, a solemn girl from Barbados with a special
smile for everyone, becomes Caroline's first and only friend
-- and the person for whom Caroline has begun to develop a crush.
Now, Caroline must find the strength to confront her feelings for
Kalinda, brave the spirit stalking her through the islands, and
face the reason her mother abandoned her. Together, Caroline and
Kalinda must set out in a hurricane to find Caroline's missing mother
-- before Caroline loses her forever.
