Ghost Girl

Perfect for fans of Small Spaces and Nightbooks, Ally Malinenko's debut is an empowering and triumphant ghost story??with spooky twists sure to give readers a few good goosebumps!
Zee Puckett loves ghost stories. She just never expected to be living one.
It all starts with a dark and stormy night. When the skies clear, everything is different. People are missing. There's a creepy new principal who seems to know everyone's darkest dreams. And Zee is seeing frightening things: large, scary dogs that talk and maybe even . . . a ghost.
When she tells her classmates, only her best friend Elijah believes her. Worse, mean girl Nellie gives Zee a cruel nickname: Ghost Girl.
But whatever the storm washed up isn't going away. Everyone's most selfish wishes start coming true in creepy ways.
To fight for what's right, Zee will have to embrace what makes her different and what makes her Ghost Girl. And all three of them?Zee, Elijah, and Nellie?will have to work together if they want to give their ghost story a happy ending.

Additional text

"Malinenko has crafted a vivid portrait of what it's like to be young and scared, even as she reminds you that fear can only win if you let it. A good horror novel should plunge you into darkness, but it should also guide you back toward the light. Ghost Girl—just like its heroine—absolutely rises to the challenge."
