Fav, how far into the book do you learn the girl is a ghost? Would you call this a spoiler? (If so, we'll remove this detail from the topic header.)

Would you say the main girl is very shy and a loner?


message 4: by Fav (new)

Fav | 8 comments The main girl was pretty shy and a loner her being a ghost is probably a spoiler as u learn it towards the end if the book I'm sorry about the spoiler I didn't realise

No worries. I removed the spoiler from the topic header and added a spoiler alert. Feel free to edit it.

How does the ghost girl behave, especially early in the book?


message 7: by Fav (new)

Fav | 8 comments The ghost girl is quiet and reserved although is excited to have a new friend as she's not used to being seen. She tells the alive girl about how at home she is often ignored by her mother.
