Teen Spirit by Francesca Lia Block

Teen Spirit by Francesca Lia Block

Francesca Lia Block, critically acclaimed author of Weetzie Bat, brings this eerie and redemptive ghost story to life with her signature, poetic prose. It's perfect for fans of supernatural stories with a touch of romance like the Beautiful Creatures series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.

After Julie's grandmother passes away, she is forced to move across town to the not-so-fancy end of Beverly Hills and start over at a new school. The only silver lining to the perpetual dark cloud that seems to be following her? Clark--a die-hard fan of Buffy and all things Joss Whedon, who is just as awkward and damaged as she is. Her kindred spirit.

When the two try to contact Julie's grandmother with a Ouija board, they make contact with a different spirit altogether. The real kind. And this ghost will do whatever it takes to come back to the world of the living.

Francesca Lia Block's latest young adult novel is a haunting work about family, loss, love, and redemption.

• Teen Romance: Julie is lost in her grief until she meets Clark, a fellow geek who might just be her kindred spirit. But their connection is about to be tested by something not of this world.
• Ghosts and Spirits: A séance to contact a beloved grandmother goes horribly wrong, inviting a dangerous entity with a sinister agenda of its own.
• Body Possession: When a spirit from the Ouija board latches onto Clark, Julie must figure out who she can trust--the boy she's falling for, or the ghost wearing his face.
• Dead Twin Brother: The ghost that answers their call isn't just any spirit--it's Clark's dead twin, Grant, and he'll do anything to live again.
