Ever feel invisible? — Charlotte Usher did. Ignored by classmates, overlooked by teachers, beneath contempt of the popular and unnoticed by the guy of her dreams, she barely registered on the map at Hawthorne High — the kind of girl no one would ever miss if she died tomorrow. And then she did. The End? Not exactly.<\/p>\n

ghostgirl<\/em> is the story of a misfit teenage girl who dies in a freak accident, “wakes up” as a ghost in a parallel world only to find that she still needs to go to class, i.e. Dead Ed, a “finishing” school for other departed teens waiting to cross over. Worst of all, she is still obsessed with all the issues of her previous life, especially her fantasy of befriending Petula, the most popular girl in school, and going to the big school dance with Petula’s hot boyfriend Damen — a desire so powerful it transcends death itself. For Charlotte, resting in peace is apparently not an option.<\/p>\n

In this critically-acclaimed best-seller, Tonya Hurley has created a funny, romantic, and bittersweet story that puts an original spin on the teen world view and the universal issues that define growing up — love, loyalty, friendship, rejection, competitiveness, individuality, and most of all, self-acceptance. Narrator Parker Posey delivers Hurley’s deliciously dark and insightful tale with a reading to die for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There will be a ghostgirl: Homecoming<\/em> and ghostgirl<\/em> audiobook launch party at the New York Public Library’s West Village branch in New York City on July 15th at 3:00, featuring a reading by author Tonya Hurley and live music by Vince Clarke.<\/p>\n
