What if that ghost started helping you out with your social life and schoolwork? And what if that ghost is carrying a big secret?<\/p>\n<p><em>Anya\u2019s Ghost<\/em> is about Anya, a high school student who immigrated to the US from Russia. She has trouble fitting in, struggles with grades, and wants to get a boyfriend. Everything changes, though, when she meets Emily, a 90-year-old ghost and her new best friend. This book is full of humor, and it tells an honest story about the experience of a young immigrant family. On the other hand, the twist in the second half of the book changes everything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My two cents:<\/strong> This is a light, fun read, and despite the \u201cghostly\u201d subject matter, it is neither scary nor dark.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1555\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/anyasghost-225x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/anyasghost-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/anyasghost-300x400.png 300w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/anyasghost.png 402w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
