I just finished another YA novel: A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb. The narrator, Helen, has been dead for 150 years and is haunting her current "host," a high school English teacher, when she notices that a boy in the teacher's class can see her. Helen hasn't been "seen" by living eyes until now, and the feeling unsettles and then excites her. An intense relationship develops between these two troubled "souls" as they discover the stories behind their lives and the lives of the bodies in which they dwell. Thoroughly enjoyable, this book was a page-turner! Although it is a tale told by a "ghost," it is more of a romance/mystery than a scary story. There is sextual and drug-related content, so recommended for muture teens and adult fans of YA literature.
