5 CRANKY STARS


This is a YA story that will appeal to all ages. Set in a small town in Upstate New York, it is about a high school senior. I enjoyed reading about an area I am familiar with which made it seem even more real. High schoolers are the same no matter where you live, and bullying has become a real problem. Same stupid reasons all over- the main character is different. She talks to herself, or so the other students think. Actually, she sees ghosts but even she doesn’t know this. To Dylan, these are her imaginary childhood friends. They should have disappeared long ago.


Now, imagine you are eight-years old and move to a new school. You know no one. To make matters worse, you came from a big city to a small farm town. Your mother has dressed you in a dress, not the jeans and t-shirts everyone else has on. Plus, to make matters worse, you have what everyone considers a boy’s first name. Not a good start in a new school. One day these two girls, Mary and Amelia make friends with you. More trouble! As you talk to them, you realize no one else can see them.


Then you grow up and move to middle school. The damage is already done but your friends are gone. No more talking to yourself. Now, you are in high school. The district has renovated your old elementary school into the high school. Oops!! Your two friends are back. How could that happen and why? You must read the book to find the answers to these questions. Dylan also discovers several other mysteries surrounding this town and her family. Imaginative and fun story from start to finish.
