About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager expresses feeling invisible in their social circle or seems overly fixated on social status. This satirical yet heartfelt story follows Charlotte Usher, a girl who literally becomes a ghost after a freak accident involving a gummy bear. Even in the afterlife, she is obsessed with being popular and winning the heart of her school crush. Through a lens of dark humor and Tim Burton-esque aesthetics, the novel explores the exhausting nature of social climbing and the profound realization that being seen for who you truly are is more important than being known by everyone. It is a stylish, witty exploration of self-worth that helps normalize the intense social anxieties of the high school years.
