A wealthy man commissions the creation of a clone to replace the girl his young son accidentally killed. When the grieving parents reject his "gift," he sends Anika, the hopeful and kindhearted seventeen-year-old clone, to live with his sister. Unknown to him, the original girl, Anne, once lived in the same island town and attended the same well-preserved schoolhouse. Admired for her fearlessness and popularity, Anne loved a boy who never saw her as more than a friend. When Anika arrives, she feels an instant connection to him, and he finds himself drawn to her warmth and the strikingly familiar look in her eyes. A tender coming-of-age story about hope, second chances, and the quiet ways love can heal, Schoolhouse Whispers: Almost Anne follows the world's first age-accelerated human clone as she searches for acceptance and belonging in a community steeped in tradition and shadowed by loss.
