A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb
I couldn’t put this book down. The imagery in it is amazing-you can clearly see in your head all the things that happen here. This book is, of course, about a ghost/spirit (Light=a ghost/spirit who does not occupy a body, Quick=a ghost/spirit who occupies a body, at least that’s how I interpreted it) who discovers that a boy can actually see her. It turns out that the boy is being occupied by a ghost/spirit. The two spirits become friends and quickly fall in love. The main character and the spirit-occupied boy start looking for a body for her to occupy, so that she and the spirit-occupied boy can be together physically. The two spirits then begin to discover all the complications that come with “stealing” a body. I can’t say any more without giving things away, but this book is a must-read. I really enjoyed it. I didn’t completely understand the ending but I’m going to read it again. I definitely recommend this book.
