Ghost Girl by Ally Malinenko

4.0

Zee (short for Zera) is a 6th grader in a very small town. She has only one friend, Elijah. They love to tell stories and creep into the cemetery when they hang out.

Unfortunately, Zee is constantly picked on by here classmates. They call her Zero, and a trip to a large library upstate, they begin to call her Ghost Girl because one of the girls catches her seemingly talking to herself. After the bullying goes too far, Zee takes it into her own hands and starts a fight with her biggest bully, Nellie. Shortly after, their elementary school gets a new principal and weird things start to happen--strange and spooky things.

Zee and Elijah unexpectedly team up with Nellie to get to the bottom of the start happenings of their little town. They are in for a wild ride full of spooky and thrilling adventures.

This was a story that kept me engaged the whole time. I think it is a good, fun read! I would definitely recommend it to my students who are reading at a middle-grade level!
