Product Description:
In the class of the high school English teacher she has been haunting, Helen feels them: for the first time in 130 years, human eyes are looking at her. They belong to a boy, a boy who has not seemed remarkable until now. And Helen—terrified, but intrigued—is drawn to him. The fact that he is in a body and she is not presents this unlikely couple with their first challenge. But as the lovers struggle to find a way to be together, they begin to discover the secrets of their former lives and of the young people they come to possess.

- A wonderfully different and captivating story
I've been looking for books that are not only different from most things currently on the market, but that are also captivating and impossible to put down. A Certain Slant of Light fits the bill perfectly. I don't want to give the book away to people that haven't read it, so, in a nut shell, the book is well thought through, current in it's desriptions of teens and the wide variety of lives they lead, and perfectly suspenseful- because you never know what's really going to happen next... and as soon ...

- Ghostly Love
I love a good ghost story, and for my money, 'A Certain Slant of Light' is a very good ghost story indeed. The difference in this story is that it's not told from the perspective of the haunted and frightened, nor even by the one sent to hunt the ghost and get rid of it. This story is told by the ghost herself.
When we first meet the main character, her spirit has been haunting a high school English teacher for some time, feeling slightly jealous when his wife gets affectionate, and frustrated ... Read More
Rating: - Hauntingly Pretty
This was a pleasant surprise as it was a recommended reading from amazon.com. It was written well... stronger and more concise than Stephenie Meyer's work (the reason this book was recommended). The characters were interesting and believable, the story line was suspenseful in a subtle way. The only criticism is mild an only really a criticism if your uptight and don't understand the story, but due to the brief sexual content it is not really suitable for kids under the age of 15 or 16. But to each, your own. ... Read More
Rating: - Why does 'Twilight' get all the glory?
In reading this book, I was both utterly compelled by the story, the style, the character development and the carefully paced mystery, and repulsed by the sad fact that this little work will languish on library shelves while 'Twilight' and all its clones march over the world like armies of mediocrity. This author should feel pride that she has created such an excellent work. At first I was wary of the old-fashioned tone her spectral heroine had - I was afraid I wouldn't be drawn in, but held at arm's length ... Read More

- Mixed Feelings
Before reading this book I had never read a book with ghosts as the main characters. I was intrigued by the authors view of life, for some people, after death. Her style of writing was very poetic and it is obvious she has a love for literature and poetry. The story progressed well and was cause for curiosity. I thought it out of place for a young adult book to have such vividly described sex scenes. Usually I base a books worth on whether I feel right about placing it on my shelf someday for my children to read. ... Read More
