This is a must-have for all libraries because of the authentic and multidimensional characters and the satisfying mystery. It is an excellent audio choice for students who enjoy creepy tales.

Evan's angst-ridden, often wry narrative is spot on for older teens, and explores the ideas of finding your community and contributing to it. Consider for high school libraries, especially where there is interest in the musical. Connor's ability to communicate and observe after death is counter to the reality of suicide, and may warrant a heads-up to school counselors.

This is ideal for those who love realistic fiction dealing with difficult topics and complex lives. Readers of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han will enjoy this novel.

A wonderful addition to any middle grade or YA biography collection.

These capers will be a delightful experience for those who enjoyed Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events."

Recommended for those who have enjoyed Avi's Nothing But the Truth, and John David Anderson's Posted.

The combination of Indian-inspired fantasy with contemporary language and sensibilities is likely to appeal to young listeners.

Listeners will be drawn to the well-developed and realistic characters and short chapters that keep the poignant, powerful story flowing. Highly recommended.–Sheila Acosta, San Antonio Public Library

This entertaining coming-of-age novel is recommended for young listeners.
