The Kari AnnAlysis

The teen years are tough, that’s a given. But when you throw a little ghost in the mix, things don’t get easier. Heather Tildy has two goals for the summer. The first is to make the hottie at the pool recognize her. The second is to get in good graces with her sister so when she starts high school this year, she can already be part of the cool crowd. Both of those seem to be a little harder to accomplish than she hopes.

The day she truly becomes a woman (use your brain, I’m not getting into the body science) she also is reacquainted with a childhood friend. Imaginary friend that is, who turns out to be a ghost from a hundred years before. Now she must help little Amy make her way into the afterworld, without getting into too much trouble. And with a misbehaving haint like Amy, that’s going to be a tough one.

Now I just recently said in a review that I felt like I was starting to grow out of some YA books. But this book proved me wrong. Although it was about a going-to-be-high-schooler, she didn’t get on my nerves and I thought the book was really cute. I think it may have been because a bit of this book was spent in the library, or the fact that there were some older characters who king of upped the maturity level.

Now this little cranky haint was annoying as all get out, but by the time her family history was revealed, I understood why and I felt really bad for her. Don’t worry, I’m not going to give it away, but I can almost guarantee you will feel the same way. If you REALLY want to know, shoot me a comment with your email address in it and I will message you

I give Haint Misbehaving 4 bookmarks and I will definitely keep my eye out for the rest of this series (you all know I am a series girl).
