Give Up the Ghost
by Megan Crewe
by Megan Crewe
Cass is different than other teens her age. She can see and talk to ghosts. After her sister dies during her prom night, she shows up in her own bedroom crying. Only, Cass can see right through her sister to the bed. Her sister sticks around and Cass learns that she can talk to other ghosts.
Since her best friend ditched her in middle school and turned the whole school against her, Cass has been itching for revenge. So she asks the ghosts she befriends to find dirt on any and all of the students at her high school. She wants to expose the popular kids for who they really are. But one of the popular crowd - the V.P. of the student body hunts her down, knowing her secret and asking her help to talk to his dead mother's ghost.
Will Cass be able to keep going on simply having ghosts for friends or will she find herself sucked into becoming friend with Tim.. or even worse.. liking him?
I really could relate to Cass. I wasn't a complete outcast in high school but it would've been so nice to see some of the mean popular kids in school taken down a notch. I think most teens can also relate to having a friend double-cross them or push them out of a circle of friends. Cass was realistic, an average teenager with some supernatural problems.
I also enjoyed drama between the different ghosts, which broke up the story nicely so the reader wasn't constantly thinking about Tim and Cass's relationship or lack thereof.
5/5 Roses
