A Guide to the Other Side
A Guide to the Other Side | Robert Imfeld
1 post | 1 read
A boy and his ghostly twin sister work together to pass messages from the beyond in this funny paranormal debut. There are a few things you should know about Baylor Bosco: He’s thirteen-years-old, he has a twin sister, and he really does NOT like ghosts…which is problematic because he’s a medium and sees ghosts everywhere. Oh, and his twin sister, Kristina? She’s a ghost too. They’ve been working as a pair for years, expertly relaying messages from ghosts to their still-living loved ones. Baylor’s even managed to come up with an introductory phrase—one that he has to use far too often. But when a strange ghost shows up close to Halloween, a grown man, covered in a sheet, with only his black leather shoes showing from the bottom, Baylor starts to wonder if something else has taken notice of him. And when his sister goes missing, somehow ghost-napped, he’s forced to figure out the truth about the Sheet Man and his sister’s disappearance, all without his usual ghostly ambassador.

I just finished this book. I figured since it's now October, I might as well start off the month with something spooky. I didn't really like this one though, but maybe it's because it's more of a kid's book. I found it very campy, and it read like a Disney movie, if you get what I mean. Still, I'm sure it'd be enjoyable for kids! I also found it weird that the ghost is of a girl who was miscarried... How would she grow older as a ghost?

charminggoats That's just weird. So at one point there was a ghost fetus? 8y
dizzymissruby @charminggoats I guess so? The story started off with her at 13 year old! 8y
dizzymissruby @charminggoats it's a lack of continuity too as there is a ghost of a centuries-old Colonel who is the same age as when he died sooo... #ghostsdontage 8y
