Brett, Cathy Scarlett Dedd, 270 pgs. Delacorte Press, 2010,
$14.99. Language: 12 swears, 0 “f”; Mature Content PG13, Violence: PG13.
Scarlett Dedd accidentally killed herself (and her family) while trying to get
out of a field trip. Now the teen
goth is a teen ghost, blogging with other ghosts and scaring her friends, but
is scaring them enough? How does a ghost “make” friends?
There is a lot of British slang - -fun
but can be confusing at times. The
writing is disjointed, episodes feel disconnected, parts of the story are hard
to follow as scenes change with no warning or divisions. The graphic novel style illustrations
are often visually graphic, gross and rude. So is the story. I would not recommend this on either the
Middle School or Elementary level and the characters may be too young for High
School.
