Cute, funny, mystery involving a young girl who inherits her free-spirited mother's ability to communicate with the dead. Kat, in the 7th grade would rather be a normal teenager and just like everyone else at that age just wants to fit in. But, she can't deny her destiny and decides to embrace it. The question is how...
Susie Wilde (Audiofile, August 2009) Smart, sassy, and supernaturally aware--that's Kat, the 13-year-old heroine whose first-person narrative is perfectly pegged by Allyson Ryan. Ryan captures Kat's wit, sarcasm, and continued struggle with her newly acquired power as a medium. Kat anticipates rest and being spoiled when she accompanies her best friend, Jac, to a music conference at Whispering Pines. When Jac makes friends with another musician, Ryan perfectly depicts their spirited dialogue. Ryan also gives listeners a strong sense of Madame Serena, a dramatic ghost medium who has a hard time accepting that she's dead. Ryan's portrayal even brings vibrancy to minor characters such as Jac's frosty mother and the threatening dark entity that is pursuing Kat. S.W.

In the first of these two books, Kat and her entourage of family, friends, and school mates are introduced. I thought this book was interesting and compelling. The characters felt realistic and well-rounded (with the exception of Kat's mother who is a little too stereotypical new age). Kat's relationship with her mother was sweet and positive. The ghost story was well done, being nicely wrapped up and not too scary. There is a little bit of open-endness to the conclusion, leaving the door open for more titles in the series, but on the whole it feels complete.
The second book, however, was not quite as good. While the other title was supernatural without being over the top, this one got too bogged down in spirit orbs, blocked chakras, and negative energy. It was a little much for me. The main story with Tank was fine, but there was a lot of extraneous stuff going on, some of which was not resolved.
Some of the references were a little dated (e.g., Punked) but on the whole this book holds up pretty well. There is a lack of diversity, which isn't great, but it's better than harmful representations. ( )
