About
Ghost Boy is a middle grade/young adult paranormal love story. Seventh-grader Ben Conover sees people no one else can see. He can distinguish them from the "regular people" who walk the mall. He has power over dark spirits who aim to harm. He has a deeply loving connection with a spirit girl his same age who visits him, but he has no idea where his feelings come from. Ben's bold adventures, compassionate nature, and eerie encounters with an unseen world are woven together throughout the book. But Ghost Boy is more than a boy-book. Girls will identify with the mysterious heroine whose life in "heaven" leaves her yearning for earth, especially Ben. This multiracial novel does not have the feel of fantasy fiction. By bringing to light the sometimes wondrous, sometimes haunted world of clairvoyant children it has a revelatory quality; it seems real--because it is.
