How do you ignore a ghost? Sparrow Delaney absolutely, positively does not want to be a medium like her six older sisters, her mother, and her grandmother. She does not want to see, hear, smell, or talk to ghosts. If she sticks to her rules and doesn't let anyone know that she can do all those things—everywhere, all the time—Sparrow just might pass as a normal tenth grader at her new high school. She makes a new best friend and meets an irritatingly appealing guy in her history class. But when another boy catches her eye, all Sparrow's dreams of being ordinary go up in smoke. Because this boy is a dead one—a persistent, charming, infuriating ghost, who won't let her be until she agrees to help him Move On.

Incredibly, incredibly wonderful book. Young adult fiction at its very best, I think. It's about Sparrow Delaney and her incredibly zany family that lives on a commune, and her attempt to pass as a norm in school. Oh yeah, she can see spirits. It's an incredibly rough adolescence. All of those pieces sound like a terrible Disney Channel movie, I recognize, but the story is put together very carefully, and each of the characters is individually lovely and interesting. I got it as an advanced reader copy from our review department and finished it in a day, I couldn't put it down.
