Anya's ghost may seem like an inappropriate (too young) book for seventh graders, but it's just the right thing... but if you read it too much, your skills will fall behind. It's a graphic novel about a girl named Anya, of course. She was teased when she first moved to the U.S. She was falled fat and ugly, and everyone laughed at her Russian accent. So she turns her back on her religion, culture, and family. She HATES people from her country and is ashamed of her last name, Borzakovskaya.
But one day, she falls in a hole, and finds a girl named Emily Reilly. Emily is a ghost. At the beginning, she's very dainty, and kind, and helpful. But then, she gets involved in Anya's social life. And Emily becomes controlling, by making Anya go after a boy who broke her heart. And when Anya refuses to do this, Emily starts terrorizing the whole family.
But Anya finds out Emily's secret. Tha's when everything becomes a lie. Anya finds out that Emily died of a broken heart, and wants Anya to live her life for her. At the end, Emily fades away with a sad and broken heart.
