Ghost Therapy by Mark Rosendorf

 About The Book: Pinedale Central High School is rumored to be haunted. For fifteen-year-old Sam Anderson, his haunting comes from the bullying he suffers on a daily basis inside the school’s walls. Then Sam meets Jessica, a former Pinedale student who died over a century ago. She convinces Sam to stand up to his bully. Unfortunately, the confrontation ends in tragedy.

Now, Sam is one of the ghosts no one can see or hear—until he meets Mr. Copeland, former military operative and current guidance counselor at the school. The two form a bond created out of Mr. Copeland’s determination to help Same find his way to the afterlife. Their efforts have consequences—some good, others less so—and one which could put the lives of everyone in the school at risk.

 Our Review: Author Rosendorf puts his experience from working with challenged students to good use with this story of a disadvantaged, troubled young man with little to go on and nowhere to turn. Until he dies at the hands of a bully and eventually meets up with someone who has his number. And suddenly this young man sees the light—no pun intended. This is a story of hope and redemption, clarity and change.

On a scale of 1-5, Ghost Therapy merits a 5.
