Editorial Review: Product Description: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And if I should die before I awake, I pray the popular attend my wake. Charlotte Usher feels practically invisible at school, and then one day she really is invisible. Even worse: she's dead. And all because she choked on a gummy bear. But being dead doesn't stop If you thought high school was a matter of life or death, wait till you see just how true that is. In this satirical, yet heartfelt novel, Hurley explores the invisibility we all feel at some times and the lengths we'll go to be seen. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A fun and quirky story that puts a whole new spin on the quest for popularityCharlotte Usher has been working hard all summer. But unlike other kids, she doesn't actually have a job. Instead, she's busy working on her Popular Plan. Her new mantra becomes: "This year is different. This is my year." The object of her desire? Damen Dylan. When she's randomly chosen to be Damen's lab partner in science class, she's convinced that her plan to win his affections is already in motion. But then she chokes on a gummy bear and nobody even notices. She dies all alone. "Now ... Read More: Rating: - Macbre, Twisted Teen TaleThe first thing that drew me to GHOSTGIRL is the cover. That silhouette cut-out on a jet-black cover with the pink ribbon and the pink splashes of color was designed to get that kind of attention. The bushy head of hair and the stick-thin cartoon body is provocative. The hardcover has some serious heft to it too, and I was intrigued by that as well when I had it in my hands. Then I noticed the shape. The book isn't a comfortable rectangle like so many books are. Rather, it's elongated ... Read More: Rating:  - If you enjoy depth of any kind, don't purchase.The concept of this book is interesting and it's why I purchased it. I was remembering a book by Christopher Pike that I'd read around 10 or 12 years ago...I believe the title was "Remember Me." "Ghostgirl" sounded like it might be similarly interesting. I was wrong. As I said, the concept could have made for a great book, and that's the only reason I gave it two stars. Other than the fact that the author had an interesting idea, the book stinks. There may be a few very mild ... Read More: Rating: - ghostgirl got my niece reading!I never write reviews for anything, but I feel an obligation to write a review for ghostgirl. I purchased the book for my 13 year old niece, who to my knowledge has never finished a book in her life. I've seen this beautiful book in stores and finally bought it for her. I read it first and could not believe how much I identified with it! I loved the book and got so much out of it at my age, it reminded me of all the teen classics I enjoyed with a dark twist for this generation. The writing is clever and the ... Read More: Rating: - Don't Judge this book by its coverAs sad as it is to admit, the cover of this book is what immediately grabbed my attention. Unfortunately, the cover is better than the book. Student, Charlotte, feels invisible at her high school and courtesy of a freak accident, literally becomes invisible following her death when she becomes a ghost. The plot of Ghost Girl is stellar and seems like it should be a great read. Unfortunately, it falls short of expectations. First, the book is riddled with corny death jokes. ... Read More: |
