Synopsis

Amelia and Riley transferred to Ashbury for senior year. They’ve been in love since they were fourteen. They say almost nothing in class. They talk only to each other. But everyone talks about them. They go out dancing every night and sleep through school all day. (They wake for a drama class one day, and their acting is so spellbinding that the drama teacher has a minor heart attack.) They are like characters from TV, and everyone wants their attention. Even best friends Emily, Cassie, and Lydia. But new kids aren’t the only thing to worry about this year. Lately, Emily has felt a cold, threatening presence in the art rooms, and she’s certain it’s a ghost. Now everyone thinks she’s crazy, and the principal refuses to sign her declared major until she proves that the “ghost sighting” is more than a childish prank. Amelia and Riley are involved somehow … but even the three best friends don’t know exactly how, or how real the danger truly is.

Goodreads review by YA Reads on September 11, 2010

Before you begin reading The Ghosts of Ashbury High, put all those expectations you may have about how a book is written on a shelf somewhere. You can pick them up later when you’re back to reading regular books. Good. Now that that’s done, I can tell you about Jaclyn Moriarty and the Ashbury High bo......more

Goodreads review by K on October 28, 2010

It didn’t seem so at first, but this was a worthwhile read. (Of course it was going to be, Jaclyn Moriarty is one of my to-buy authors. I wasn’t too worried.) The beginning was a bit disheartening. I didn’t feel drawn into the story until after the 100 page mark. The series once again takes a new ro......more
