Rated 3 Stars

Being different in  high school is a harsh reality for lots of students.  This book may open some eyes in terms of racial bias and sexual exploitation but its unique fantasy mystery story line will be surprising to many.   Violet is a likable teen who possessed special abilities but the supporting cast of characters do little to enhance the story line.   At times the plot feels lost and the teens just muddle along as Violet gets deeper into her personal reality or lack of reality.

For this reader the story is not compelling enough to place in media center or public library collections.

There will be an audience so Brown Girl Ghosted needs to be on book store shelves
