School Spirit (Suddenly Supernatural book 1) by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel. 2009.Audience: Grades 4-6th; ages 8-13
My Rating: 4.5*s of 5
Summary: Like her mother, a professional medium, 7th grader, Kat, has been able to see dead people since turning thirteen, and although they would prefer to be normal, Kat and her best friend come to terms with their own talents while helping free the spirit of a girl trapped at their middle school.
Comments: This book jumped into my hands off of the "new" shelf and I couldn't put it down! Great storytelling and a surprising depth to the characters and story. Kat is someone you can easily follow through a book series. The supernatural elements felt believable and even had a few scary moments that serve as a teaser to continue the series. A great recommendation for younger fantasy/horror readers. I can't wait to read more in the series.
Awards:
Read-alikes: Savvy by Law, Allie Finkle series by Cabot (sans the supernatural, of course)

Book 2, Scardy Kat, was nearly as good as the first. Some interesting content about "energy work" such a reiki.
