Synopsis

To enter the Text Publishing young adult fiction competition, I have to come up with a 100 word synopsis for Girl in the Shadows. So far, I've put together three I'm reasonably happy with but I'm not sure which one works best. What do you think?

Synopsis A
What happens when you look in the mirror and see a face that isn't yours? You hope it's a nightmare, a horror story. But it's real. It's the part of you that you don't want anyone to know about. And it's not going anywhere.

When Tash first sees a strange girl's face staring back at her from the mirror, she and her best friend Mal think it's a ghost: a restless
relative, perhaps, or something more sinister. But the truth is more sinister than any ghost story ever could be. And it will send Tash to the edge of madness.

Synopsis B
Tash has good looks, brains and freedom: the perfect teenage life. But when she looks into her mirror, a stranger’s face stares back at her. Her best friend Mal believes it’s an evil spirit. But the chilling truth is not supernatural: it’s flesh and blood.

Spell books and ouija boards cannot fix a problem that comes from deep within the soul. It will take a journey to the edge of madness for Tash to face the truth inside her heart and see the evil that lurks in her home. And Mal’s love and courage to pull her back into life.

Synopsis C
What happens when you look in the mirror and see a face that isn't yours? Tash has everything a teenage girl could wish for: good looks, brains, beautiful home and freedom from her busy parents. But when she looks into her mirror, she sees the face of another girl staring back at her. Her best friend Mal believes it’s the spirit of a restless teenager looking for a new body to inhabit. But the truth is more chilling; and tarot cards, ouija boards and spells cannot fix a problem that comes from so deep within the heart.
