Anya's new friend is a century-old ghost with secrets.
Anya's life is a mess—awkward at school, embarrassed by her family. When she falls into a well, she discovers a ghostly friend from the past. But is this spectral companion truly what she needs, or is there a darker side to this eternal friendship? As Anya navigates the challenges of fitting in, she must decide if her ghostly ally is a blessing or a curse. Dive into a tale of mystery and self-discovery where the past and present collide in unexpected ways.
Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn’t kidding about the Forever part . . . Of all the things Anya expected to find at the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them. Especially not a new friend who’s been dead for a century. Falling down a well is bad enough, but Anya’s normal life might actually be worse. She’s embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her body, and she’s pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new friend–even a ghost–is just what she needs. Or so she thinks. Spooky, sardonic, and secretly sincere, Anya’s Ghost is a wonderfully entertaining debut from author/artist Vera Brosgol. This title has Common Core connections. Anya’s Ghost is a 2011 Kirkus Best Teen Books of the Year title. One of School Library Journal’s Best Fiction Books of 2011.One of Horn Book’s Best Fiction Books of 2011.Winner of the 2012 Eisner Award for Best Publication for Young Adults (Ages 12-17)
