Saranormal- Ghost Town by Phoebe Rivers

Hello fellow readers! In honor of Halloween, one of my favorite holidays, I wanted to read something spooky. I ran across a great middle school read about a young girl who has the ability to see and speak with ghosts. It reminds me of Ghostwhisperer... the show with Jennifer Love Hewitt that appeared on TV a few years ago. In this first book, Sara Collins has just moved to the Jersey area and is learning how to cope with her new psychic abilities and balance everyday life. The ghosts and voices are everywhere... even in her own home. With the help of new friends and a fabulous caring father... can she make it through her special abilities and the ghosts who haunt her? Read up fellow friends, this is a very promising series.

Z by Therese Anne Fowler

I just finished a great book that may interest older teens who have tried the Flapper series by Jillian Larkin. I was inspired after watching DiCaprio in the movie Gatsby to read something on the 20s and ran across a PlayAway at work titled Z! A PlayAway by the way is just a fancy audio book.
Z, is the story of Zelda Fitzgerald... the wife of author F.Scott Fitzgerald as told from her point of view. She meets Scott at a fancy country club party in Alabama and waits for his proposal. Her story is full of love, struggle, suffering, and her strong desire to stay independent (and sometimes co-dependent) all while loving a very passionate yet frivolous man.I enjoyed the love affair between the two who struggled to live in marriage full of turmoil and passion. Zelda's voice rings clear throughout the book and I learned a great deal about what it was like for women in the 20's. Readers will want to watch Midnight in Paris and dress up like a flapper for Halloween.
