Living with his grandfather and struggling in a new high school, Damian decides to summon his mother's ghost so he can talk things out - but he blows it and summons Saskia, a scruffy, annoying kid. Trying to settle into his new life, Damian doesn't need her hanging around trying to 'help' him with his crush - but Saskia's suffering too, and everything they're both hiding deep down might be just what they both need to get some peace.

Ditching Saskia by John Moore and Neetols paints a sweet and hilarious tale of young love amidst grief, where someone's flaws might be the reason you love them the most.
