Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Lilah Bloom's life turns upside down when a lightning strike grants her the ability to hear ghosts. Now a medium, she juggles meddling spirits like her opinionated Bubby Dora and a mischievous kid, all while navigating the challenges of seventh grade. With the school dance approaching and her crush, Andrew Finkel, on her mind, Lilah must balance the chaos of the spirit world with her own teenage dilemmas. Can she manage the ghostly drama and still find a way to ask Andrew to the dance?

From the publisher

After she’s hit by lightning at a wedding, twelve-year-old Lilah Bloom develops a new talent: she can hear dead people. That’s right, she’s now a medium–a person who talks to ghosts! Among them, there’s her overopinionated Bubby Dora; an old lady fashion designer; and a kid who is pure mischief and threatens to ruin everything. The ghosts are more annoying than frightening, especially when Lilah has one big fear on her mind: talking to-and possibly going to the seventh-grade dance with-her crush, Andrew Finkel. Lilah only ever wanted to be a regular seventh-grader, maybe a seventh-grader with a date for the dance, but with meddling ghosts getting in the way, her life is now filled with drama of the spirit variety. What’s a young medium to do?
