Bookroo's summary
Maggie McKay steps into high school, leaving behind her sheltered life. As she navigates new friendships, she must unravel the mystery of a ghost that's haunted her since childhood. Can Maggie solve the spectral puzzle and find her place in the world? This journey blends humor, surprises, and the supernatural, challenging Maggie to grow beyond her brothers' shadows.
From the publisher
A coming-of-age tale with a spooky twist! Maggie McKay hardly knows what to do with herself. After an idyllic childhood of homeschooling with her mother and rough-housing with her older brothers, it’s time for Maggie to face the outside world, all on her own. But that means facing high school first. And it also means solving the mystery of the melancholy ghost who has silently followed Maggie throughout her entire life. Maybe it even means making a new friend–one who isn’t one of her brothers. Funny, surprising, and tender, Friends with Boys by Faith Erin Hicks is a pitch perfect YA graphic novel full of spooky supernatural fun. This title has Common Core connections.
