The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney by Suzanne Harper


Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Paranormal Romance; Ghosts, Psychics
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: In high school, the last thing you want is for people to think you talk to ghosts. When Sparrow begins tenth grade at a huge new school full of strangers, she thinks her dreams of anonymity and a fresh start are finally coming true. No more following in her six older sisters' footsteps. No more going to class with kids who've seen her grandma doing jujitsu in the front yard next to the headstones of her four dead husbands. And no more worrying about keeping her deep, dark secret hidden. Sparrow makes a new best friend and has her eye on an irritatingly appealing guy in her history class. She feels like she's well on her way to a normal life. But it's another boy—a dead one—who wants Sparrow's attention, and he won't let her be till she's helped him Move On. You see, Sparrow Delaney's secret is that she's a psychic. And there's one very persistent ghost who won't let her forget it.

Sparrow is just trying to be a normal girl, even though she talks to ghost. She even keeps it from her very psychic family. Now she gets to go to a new school where no one knows about her family or what they can do. But on her first day she sees a ghost in her history class. As she makes friends things start to go her way until she finally decides to help one of the ghosts. The story is actually really sweet. It shows that even people who are talented don’t always want to be. I found the story to be entertaining and I really liked the dynamic between her and Jake. I hope that there will be more stories about Sparrow, but even if there aren’t this is a good read.
