“I am the Ghost in Your House” by Maria Romasco-Moore is surprisingly NOT a horror novel and is NOT about a ghost. Pie is like any other teenager with the exception of being invisible to everyone except for her mother, who is also invisible. The novel follows Pie as she tries to make friends, despite her mother’s rules that they leave no trace of themselves and hide away from people as much as possible. Pie’s mother was visible once, but developed the invisibility to cope with abuse. The idea of feeling/being invisible will resonate with many readers. The premise is interesting, but doesn’t feel fully fleshed out and could use more worldbuilding.  A young adult novel, “I am the Ghost in Your House,” should be an additional purchase for your library’s collection, but not a must-buy.
