AN INDIE NEXT PICK!
A novel of ghosts, grief and the friends who make it all ok by #1 New York Times bestselling co-author Mark Oshiro!"Heartfelt, funny, fast-paced, and spooky-this book will indeed haunt you in all the best ways. I was hooked from page one!" -Rick Riordan, New York Times #1 best-selling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians seriesJasmine Garza has a problem: a ghost has been following her for
years, ever since her Papi died. Not that Mami will admit anything supernatural is going on. But even the ghost she won't acknowledge makes real trouble, so Jasmine and her mami are moving (again) to a new apartment in East Hollywood. This time Jasmine is committed to living a normal life with normal friends.
Enter: Bea Veracruz and Jorge Barrera. They're the only two members of Jasmine's middle school's Gay Straight Alliance and they're already obsessed with all things supernatural. Bea wants to prove herself to her paranormal investigator parents and Jorge is determined to overcome his fear of the beyond. And when Jasmine confesses she's been tormented by a ghost for years, they not only believe her, they're thrilled!
Together they set out to prove that Jasmine's not just acting out after her father's death-ghosts are real and Jasmine
is haunted. But not everyone agrees
how to deal with the departed. As Jasmine's hauntings increase in intensity, her resentment builds. Why is her Mami so secretive about her past? Why is she the center of such a terrible vortex of supernatural activity? And why hasn't her Papi ever reached out to her since he passed?
In order to face her ghosts-both internal and external-Jasmine must come to terms with her own history.
