REVIEW

In middle school you want to fit in, you know, blend in with the crowd. Fitting in was anything but easy for Kat. Her mother was a medium and the kids at school teased her about it to no end. Before long, Kat herself realized that she too had the gift for speaking with spirits. Her only real friend was Jac, another school misfit who lost her ability to play the cello.

I really liked Kat as a main character. She was just a normal girl who happened to be able to speak with spirits. Since Kat was a reluctant medium – she never wished for her mother’s gift – it was interesting to see how she dealt with her situation. She was very brave and I felt like she grew into her true self by the end of the story.

When Kat must help a spirit in the school library cross over, she accepts the challenge. There is a mystery to solve and some bumps along the way. This quick read is engaging and will win the hearts of middle grade supernatural fans.

School Spirit is the first in a trilogy of Suddenly Supernatural books. I would love to read the others to see what is in store for Kat next.

Thank you to Little, Brown and Company for sending this book to me for review.
