GhostGirl- Tonya Hurley


Pages 1-328 (Beginning to end)
This story begins with the reader following a girl named Charlotte Usher who is just dying to become a part of the popular crowd and make the hottest, most popular guy, Damen Dylan, fall in love with her. She has one problem. No one knows who she is. Charlotte is the girl at school who always blended in, was just someone who was part of the scenery, took up space, wasted useful air. On the first day of school Charlotte realizes that nothing had changed from the past years. She never heard any ' How was your summer Charlotte?' or any 'Hey Charlotte!'when she was walking toward her locker. Charlotte had 1st hour with her crush Damen Dylan and unfortunately his super popular girlfriend Petula Kensington. To Charlotte's surprise and Petula's dismay Damen is assigned to be lab partners with Charlotte. Charlotte began to eat gummy bears when suddenly the gummy bear was stuck in her windpipe. Charlotte was unable to speak so she started trampling around the classroom trying to get someones attention but no one ever payed attention to Charlotte Usher. The bell rang and everyone filed out of the classroom including the teacher, leaving Charlotte to die.
Charlotte then returns as a ghost to fulfill her destiny at Hawthorne High in order to pass on to the "Other side". The reader follows Charlotte as she searches for redemption and succeeds.
I would recommend this book to anyone because it shows that even if you are ignored and alone you can achieve great things. I can not wait to read the sequel to this book, called Homecoming also by Tonya Hurley.
