A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares

Esther’s family is riddled with fear. Her father is agoraphobic and hasn’t left the basement in six years. Her twin brother cannot be in the dark. Her mother is terrified of bad luck. According to the family curse, they are destined to die from the very things they fear most. Esther doesn’t know what her greatest fear is yet (nor does she want to). So she avoids nearly everything, keeping close track of every phobia in her semi-definitive list of worst nightmares. Then Esther is pickpocketed by Jonah Smallwood, an old elementary school classmate. Along with her phone, money, and a Fruit Roll-Up she’d been saving, Jonah also steals her list. And so begins Esther’s ultimate challenge-to work her way through the list, tackling one fear at a time. Including one that Esther hadn’t even considered- love.
