“GHOSTGIRL: HOMECOMING,” by Tonya Hurley

Written with deadpan wit — maybe because our heroine, teen misfit Charlotte Usher is dead — this is a “Wonderful Life”-like tale for young teens and older. Our heroine? A girl forced to intern at a crisis hot line in purgatory as she awaits her afterlife fate. The second of a series, “Homecoming” finds Charlotte trying to guide a fellow teen through the trials of high school.

GhostGirl Series, Homecoming

by DELIGHT on SEPTEMBER 19, 2009

ghostgirlAnyone who has felt like a total void, and thought that no one noticed them is going to fall in love with the strange new series, Ghostgirl, from Tonya Hurley.  It is humorous, edgy, dark, and most definitely twisted.  Hurley creates a paranormal world that strangely resembles the world of the living with all of the odd, human quirks of one Charlotte Usher still in tact. Ghostgirl received rave reviews from all over when it hit shelves and in July the sequel, Homecoming, did not fail to please readers and draw them into Hurley’s wonderful, imaginative world once again. Page by page, you will become attached to Charlotte and eager to see what could possibily happen to her next.  Be sure to check out the Ghostgirl website and Tonya Hurley’s website for info on where to purchase and upcoming work.

“Charlotte Usher feels practically invisible at school, and then one day she really is invisible. Even worse: she’s dead. And all because she choked on a gummy bear. But being dead doesn’t stop Charlotte from wanting to be popular; it just makes her more creative about achieving her goal.

If you thought high school was a matter of life or death, wait till you see just how true that is. In this satirical, yet heartfelt novel, Hurley explores the invisibility we all feel at some times and the lengths we’ll go to be seen.”-from the Ghostgirl website.homecoming
