A Certain Slant of Light


This is one book that I have wanted to read for a long time. It is a ghost story, but not the typical ghost story. This is about Helen. She can't remember how she died, but she knows it must be something awful. Whatever she did is the reason she did not go to heaven. Helen learns how to attach herself to a human host. She goes from host to host over the span of about 150 years. The hosts never know she is there. One day when she is with her host at his job in a high school she notices a boy looking at her. How can this boy see her? Helen is drawn to this boy, James, only to find out he is also a ghost, but he has inhabited a human body. James wants Helen to also find a body to take over. Once Helen finds a body there are all new challenges. I really enjoyed this book. If you are looking for a scary ghost story, don't read this book. It has some creepiness about it, but I would not consider this a scary ghost story.
Happy Reading!
Mrs. B.
