Ghostgirl: Homecoming by Tonya Hurley


Charlotte and her classmates have graduated from Dead Ed and are now working at a hotline for living teens with problems. But Charlotte gets no calls and begins to feel alone and isolated from her friends. Her best living friend, Scarlett, puts herself in a self-induced coma in order to find Charlotte to help her rescue her sister, who is in a real coma after suffering a serious infection from a pedicure. The girls race against time to save Scarlett’s sister and get Scarlett back before she permanently joins Charlotte in the afterlife. The characters are extreme examples of teen personalities and the dialog is often funny and acerbic. While the story feels somewhat episodic, it is definitely unique and sure to find an audience. Readers should read the first book before this one as there are numerous references to situations that occurred in Ghostgirl.
