Suddenly Supernatural
Scaredy Kat book 2
by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel
Kat's mother is a medium and when Kat turned thirteen, she inherited the family "gift," though sometimes
seeing spirits doesn't make her feel especially gifted. In this second book in the series, Kat accidentally
photographs a boy in the house next door where no one lives. She feels drawn to help this boy's spirit but
soon discovers he's not the only spirit in that house! Kat isn't sure she wants to mix it up with the powerful
ghosts in the empty house, in fact, she might not want to be a medium at all. The author has done a great
job with the creation of Kat, who manages to be totally terrified without seeming weak or wimpy. Her
confusion and conflict over family relationships and helping others rings totally true to the many things
real tweens face—but with the added bonus of ghosts! The book is a quick read, and sure to be a tween
favorite. If you have a reluctant girl reader in your family, consider waving Suddenly Supernatural
under her nose—she'll snap it up so fast, it's spooky! |
