MS – ADVISABLE

Anti-social Alexis does her best to fly low and avoid the wrath of the cheer-leading crowd, even after they publically humiliated her best friend, leaving Alexis without a support group. Now highly eligible BMOC Carter finds Alexis intriguing and wants to get to know her better. But Alexis’ doll-crazy little sister is attracting bad attention, and acting really weird. Her blue eyes turn green, she speaks in a strangely old-fashioned manner and dangerous things happen around her. Alexia may lose her life before she is ever ready to find love.

If your students grew up on Mary Downing Hahn or Betty Ren Wright, this is a great next step in ghostliness.
