Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol

Name: Naorin H.
Grade : 12
Title & Author: Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol
Impression: Good  Recommend: Yes

Favorite Part: My favorite part was when Anya left the party because she was strong to just leave and not stay to do things she did not want to.

Favorite Character: My favorite character was Anya because she changed for the better over time. At first, she did not respect her culture or her family but as Emily begins to mirror her attitude, Anya becomes a better person.

Summary: Anya is an outcast and hates her Russian heritage for it. One day she falls down a well and finds a skeleton at the bottom. She soon realizes she is not alone down there and that the ghost of the skeleton, Emily, is there with her. When Anya is rescued from the well, a bone accidentally ends up in her bag, allowing Emily to leave with her. Emily helps Anya out at school and they become best friends. However, life does not remain perfect for long....

Feedback: I really liked the twist at the end because I did not expect Emily to turn into the bad guy at all.

Grade: 12
Title & Author:  Anya's Ghost by Vera Brogsol
Impression: Excellent
Recommend: Yes

Favorite part: My favorite part was when Anya discovered the truth about the ghost, Emily, and why she actually died.

Favorite character: My favorite character was Emily because although she was a ghost with bad intentions, she was a clever and persuasive individual especially when it came to talking to Anya.

Summary: Anya, a highschool misfit, befriends a ghost who died falling into a man hole and after following Anya home, Emily decides to help her Anya encounter all her troubles in school, especially with Anya's crush. With changes and pressure from this somewhat friendly ghost, Anya discovers that there's more to Emily than there actually is which puts her and others in danger.
