Her dad's married a woman named Gus, they're moving in with her, and now she must adjust to a new school and a new mother. There's something strange about Gus and her house, too. The backyard is littered with junk, people have been known to get lost in it, and Harper can hear faint music playing at night. Thankfully, it's not as bad as it seems, as she also meets a new friend, Rawnie. Together with their love of rock band Neon Shadow—and especially lead singers Nico and Ty—the two friends vow to stick together.One day Harper and Rawnie learn Neon Shadow is coming to town. Despite a fight spurred on by mean people at school, the girls procure tickets to the concert. But when Nico collapses onstage and hovers between life and death, Harper and Rawnie must brave what they find in the backyard afterworld to save him... | |

| The Friendship Song / int_2ec87029 | comment |
Sadly Mythtaken: Lampshaded, as Aengus admits that he's not the lord of all the dead, just creative people like artists, poets, and musicians. The character in actual mythology is a god of love, youth and poetic inspiration. | |
