Lives and dreams can be cut short by death, but the biggest
tragedy for those who survive is not taking advantage of second chances.
In the paranormal YA novel The Cell, seventeen year old Les Logan
is an aspiring comic book artist who begins to doubt himself after Aki Kubo,
his friend and creative partner, dies in an accident in which Les is involved.
From beyond the grave, Aki contacts Les through a cell phone and tells him
there’s a problem. Aki can’t cross over because a girl named Rachel is wasting
her second chance at life after receiving his donated liver. Les must help her
so Aki can move on to the afterlife.
There are a few big problems: one,
if Rachel doesn’t move on with her life soon Aki’s spirit will disintegrate. Two,
there’s a limited amount of time and they can only communicate via cell phone.
Three, Les hasn’t driven since Aki’s accident. And finally, a devious scientist
named Professor Gluck finds out about Aki and wants to capture the ghost in the
cell phone so to prove his theories about the paranormal. He gives Les a job so
he can keep an eye on him and set a trap for Aki.
Les enlists the aid of his two
off-beat friends and sets out to discover a way to save Rachel but encounters
with Professor Gluck stand in his way. When these friends believe in each other,
and do what they think is right, not even a mad scientist can stop them from
saving the living as well as the dead. In essence, this is a rescue tale. Les
must rescue Rachel but by doing so he also rescues Aki and his own dreams for
the future.
