Ghostgirl By Tonya Hurley

The book Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley is the book I read after finishing Smack and it was the perfect book to read after such an intense book. Although the novel is about a girl, Charlotte, dropping dead while chasing her crush, Daemon, in her high school, the novel is not a tear jerker. It was hard for me to have very much sympathy for Charlotte while reading this book because I did not like her. She was completely self-centered and ridiculous for most of the book!

However, I feel this book would be perfect for a read-aloud book. It is an easy read and is funny. This novel also deals with teen death, being self-centered, and being lonely. These are conflicts most teenagers have to deal with.

One of the reasons I chose to read this book is because a classmate presented this book in class and the cover looked amazing. This book is a pretty book. The edges of the pages are silver, the cover is really creative and the pages in the book are white, pink and black. Also, this book has a website that is also very creative, including excerpts of the book, fun activities and horoscopes. Everyone should at least check out the link. -- http://www.ghostgirl.com/

Lastly, this book has a sequel, "Ghostgirl Homecoming". It is just as pretty as the first book and I have a very strong urge to read it!
