He'd probably even enjoy it, if not for one thing: students cannot leave Phantom Academy until they graduate. He can't check on his family. He can't see his cat. In fact, he can't leave the Spirit Realm at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs his homesickness builds, Finn convinces his new friends they should escape. But finding the way out is harder than he anticipated, especially when their biggest clue mysteriously goes missing.
