Ghostgirl homecoming

Heaven couldn't be a phone bank, could it' Charlotte Usher discovers that the afterlife isn't quite what she pictured when she's forced to intern at a hotline for troubled teens. Before she can officially cross over, she'll have to be a source of guidance for one such teen. The problem is she doesn't have much advice to offer since dying hasn't exactly boosted her confidence level. But when Hawthorne High's leading, love-to-hate cheerleader Petula and her gothic little sis' Scarlet find themselves suddenly resting-in-peace in comas, Charlotte's opportunity to save them will prove to be the risk of a lifetime-for all of them. Praise for ghostgirl: * Polished dark-and-deadpan humor, it's a natural fit with Gen Y, too." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) * "[Tonya] beats out witty teen-speak like a punk-band drummer, keeping the narrative fast-paced and fun yet thought-provokingly heartwarming. Goofy, ghastly, intelligent, electrifying." --Kirkus (starred review) *"Tim Burton and Edgar Allan Poe devotees will die for this fantastic, phantasmal read." --School Library Journal (starred review) * "Readers with a taste for black humor and satire will feast on Hurley's crisp, wise dialogue. Anticipate a well deserved cult following." --VOYA (starred review).

  • "Charlotte Usher se siente prácticamente invisible hasta que un día lo es de verdad. Peor aún: está muerta. Y todo por culpa de on osito de goma. Pero la muerte no impide que Charlotte siga con su plan. Todo lo contrario, se vuelve mucho más creativa y hará cualquier cosa por conseguir su objetivo: ser popular para seducir al chico que ama."
  • "Charlotte has been given her first assignment after graduating from Dead Ed- the alternative high school for dead teens- she is to go back and help out a student from her previous life and her first love, Damen."
  • "When Petula becomes deathly ill, her sister Scarlet seeks help from former classmate Charlotte, for whom the afterlife has become burdensome, leaving her just as insecure and isolated as she was while she was alive."
  • "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And if I should die before I awake, I pray the popular attend my wake. 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.

  • "Antes de poder descansar en paz, Charlotte tiene que volver al trágico escenario de su muerte: la escuela. Todavía le queda una última misión que cumplir, tiene que ayudar a un joven que le ha sido asignado a resolver algunos problemas personales antes del esperado baile de graduación.

  • "¿Alguna vez te has sentido invisible? En el mundo yo era sólo una persona más, pero anhelaba ser el mundo para una persona. Charlotte Usher se siente prácticamente invisible hasta que un día lo es de verdad. Peor aún: está muerta. Y todo por culpa de un osito de goma. Pero la muerte no impide que Charlotte siga con su plan. Todo lo contrario, se vuelve mucho más creativa y hará cualquier cosa por conseguir su objetivo: ser popular para seducir al chico que ama."
