  • More about The Taking of Jake Livingston

In this YA social thriller, a Black teenager struggles with being a medium and being one of the few Black students at a prestigious prep school.

In this young adult social thriller, survival is not a given. Holly Jackson's novel, which was a New York Times bestseller, meets Jake Livingston.

Sixteen-year-old Jake Livingston is surrounded by dead people. He is unsure whether being a medium compelled to observe the dead replay their final moments on a loop or being a victim of racist teachers at St. Clair Prep, where he is one of the few Black students, is worse. He longs to escape from this living nightmare.

However, things at St. Clair begin to improve with the arrival of another Black student, the attractive Allister. For the first time, romance is in the air for Jake.

Unfortunately, being a medium is becoming more difficult. While most ghosts are harmless, Sawyer Doon desires much more from Jake. In life, Sawyer was a troubled teenager who shot and killed six children at a nearby high school before taking his own life. He is now a strong, vengeful ghost with plans for Jake. High school has evolved into a different kind of survival game, one that Jake is unsure he can win.
