Girl Meets Ghost

review 1: 2.5 starsIt was cute, but half way through I just didn't care anymore. It's aimed at tween girls and I think that age range would like it. It's not anything new: Girl sees ghosts, Girl helps ghosts move on, Girl deals with her own problems like boys. I just skimmed the end. Also, I didn't like how often the characters used religious based swearing. It seemed excessive for a children's book. So that's something to keep in mind if it bothers you.
review 2: Yes, I am into reading young adult or junior fiction. It's fun, easy and amusing. I laughed pretty hard a few times in here when I heard my own daughter in the main character and her friends as they discussed the indignity of weating a partcularly putrid shade of green nail polish. And that's only one funny ... moremoment in this peculiar story of Kendall and he tendency to see dead people and the stress this penchant places on her otherwise normally stressful teenage life.Kendall not only has to deal with her fathers inability to be honest with her about his new relationship but her own confusing and new relationship with her crush, Brandon. When one of the ghosts she sees is Brandon's own dead Mother, she gets really freaked out.I absolutely loved reading this book because it's written in Kendall's voice and she is completely charming. Barnholdt does a wonderful job of becoming a 12 year old faced with some interesting challenges who handles them with grace and courage, as well as humor.I highly recommend this to young and old alike as a charming and humorous story that will leave you wanting more. The cliff hanger at the end is a doozie! less
