''Deadgirl'' is the debut novel by young adult author B.C. Johnson. It follows the story of Lucy Day, a fifteen-year-old girl who goes out on her first date and ends up [[TheHeroDies shot dead in a parking lot]]. Until she wakes up the next morning [[FirstEpisodeResurrection right as rain]]. [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Sort of]]. As it turns out, it gets a lot harder to survive after you've already died. Who knew?
