Ghost Girl in the Corner

By Daniel José Older
Ghost Girl in the Corner by Daniel José Older digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In this novella sequel to the New York Times–bestselling Shadowshaper, a couple is reunited by a missing black girl, a ghost haunting a newspaper office.

Trying to shake off the strange malaise that separates her from even her girlfriend Izzy, Tee decides to take over the Bed-Stuy Searchlight for the summer. But then she finds an alluring violet dress in the newspaper office, and a cute ghost girl no one else can see.

Izzy can tell Tee’s drifting away from her—she misses Izzy’s shows and skips shadowshaper practice—and she won’t stand for it. Yet when a girl goes missing in Bed-Stuy, Izzy needs Tee to get the word out and help investigate. Can they break through their distance and reconnect before someone else dies?

Thumbs Up“I really enjoyed the pacing in this book. I listened to it on my library app in about 2 sittings. There are a good amount of characters and good descriptions. The plot was ok (for the length of the book), I wish there was more, I would have loved more twists and action for this genre. The love interest in the book was dull. Felt like it was thrown in the book. Did not hold much value with the plot. However this was just a YA horror so worth the try. I saw this recommendation on TikTok.”
