Description
Charlotte Usher discovers that the afterlife isn't quite what she pictured when she's forced to intern at a hotline for troubled teens. Before she can officially cross over, she'll have to be a source of guidance for one such teen. The problem is she doesn't have much advice to offer since dying hasn't exactly boosted her confidence level.
But when Hawthorne High's leading, love-to-hate cheerleader Petula and her gothic little sis' Scarlet find themselves suddenly resting-in-peace in comas, Charlotte's opportunity to save them will prove to be the risk of a lifetime-for all of them.
Praise for ghostgirl:
* Polished dark-and-deadpan humor, it's a natural fit with Gen Y, too." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
* "[Tonya] beats out witty teen-speak like a punk-band drummer, keeping the narrative fast-paced and fun yet thought-provokingly heartwarming. Goofy, ghastly, intelligent, electrifying." --Kirkus (starred review)
*"Tim Burton and Edgar Allan Poe devotees will die for this fantastic, phantasmal read." --School Library Journal (starred review)
* "Readers with a taste for black humor and satire will feast on Hurley's crisp, wise dialogue. Anticipate a well deserved cult following." --VOYA (starred review)

What the hell? Are you serious? Okay, normally I'm not that kind of reviewer who crashed a book to earth. Really. But I couldn't get along with this at all. While I really liked the cool and gothic girl Scarlet in part One, I began to think that she is just stupid in this book. I mean, common' ... I don'T want to spoil, really. I don't like spoilers on my own. But this book is so stupid and mindless. The dead isn't funny. I know it's ironic. I really understand this part. But it wasn'T what I thought while reading. It didn'T come to me with this message. I couldn't laugh about Charlotte, Scarlet or Damen. Didn't laugh because of the way Petula came into the hospital. Okay, here it is: the spoiler. Sorry. But you can read it on the back of the book. While I gave the first one a good meant four stars review, I have to thought about this. How many stars should I give? Three? Na. I didn't (!) like the characters, the story was so boring. BUT I like the pictures inside. It still has a bit of goth in it. I'm not a gothic girl on my own but I think, it'S cool when some 'outsider' becomes a hero - or something like that. I'm really sorry for not giving more stars.
