Okay, I picked this up because I read the prequel and loved it. The first book, The Year of Secret Assignments, had me in stitches and I thought I'll pick up book 2 for a laugh. Wow was I wrong! Yes there are a lot of funny bits to it, but mostly this book is about ghosts and haunting, and serious issues like child pornography, mental illness, home town history, relationships, the dangers of rumors, and much much more. Told in official school letters, homework assignments, blog entries, and an essay test; this one blew me out of the water. It took a few chapters to get into it, but boy did I. Especially when Lydia started talking to the Ghost on her computer! LOL. Em, Cass, & Lyd are back in this excitingly Gothic tale of how their school was overtaken with Ghost paranoia during their final year of school. Em's quest this year is to prove that there is actually a ghost haunting the art rooms & Lyd's it to not get back with Seb, even if she does want to. But with two new students at Ashbury the rumor mill is percolating, both with the students and the teachers. Riley & Amelia are unlike any other teen at Ashbury. They are the new scholarship students and at first they skipped classes, didn't turn in homework, etc. But after awhile they started to be some of the best students the school had to offer, that is until the teachers found out about their past. This is a riveting tale of ghosts, both real and imagined. If you like to laugh I would encourage you to listen to this and the Year of Secret Assignments on Audio book as they are more fun that way.
