Ghostgirl Review



All Charlotte Usher wanted to be was popular. Is that too much to ask?


For Charlotte, it was too much to ask and it came with a penalty. Every year for Charlotte is the same: no one in school notices her, she’s invisible to her crush, and the popular girls want nothing to do with her. But this year is different. Charlotte spent all summer primping to have “the look.” Things were starting to go her way, especially when she was paired with her crush for chemistry lab, which would last the whole year. Then things changed. Charlotte Usher, virtually unknown to the rest of the world, became even more so—she died.

Not yet ready to go to the other side, Charlotte is stuck in between. Dying doesn’t even get her out of school, as she’s forced to attend a school for teens like her with unfinished business. Charlotte must learn to work with the other teens and learn to accept herself for who she is. But what is her unfinished business and how will her dreams to attend the Fall Ball with her crush—despite the fact that she’s dead—affect the Fate of everyone else?

Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley is a fast-paced, intriguing book with a great premise. Each chapter starts off with a quote from a famous author, poet or musician to set the mood.
