FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Charlotte has been given her first assignment after graduating from Dead Ed--the alternative high school for dead teens--she is to go back and help out Damen, a student from her previous life, with whom she falls in love.
From Booklist
Charlotte is back from the deadβwell, sort of. She and fellow Dead Ed graduates return to Hawthorne High in time for prom season, acting as guardian angels for students from Charlotteβs past. Thereβs Petula, recovered from her near-death experience and giving away possessions to the homeless; Scarlett, dating Charlotteβs true love; and Darcy, a mystery girl with an agenda. But Charlotte has her own problems in the afterlife and struggles to do the right thing. Fans of the series will appreciate the further adventures of their favorite ghost-girl, and another appealing cover design and layout will draw in readers (who will definitely need to read the other books first). Grades 5-8. --Shauna Yusko
