Phantom Academy by Christine Virnig


Even in death, you can't get out of going to school. Twelve-year-old Finn learns this the hard way after a falling coconut does him in. Phantom Academy by Christine Virnig is a fun take on YA afterlife. The emotional trauma of death is very much brushed over, and poor Fin is thrown right into school. Poor guy was just on Holiday and now... well, back to the academic grind. A fun and engaging read perfect for October classroom reading.

Once Finn gets over the unfairness of still having homework (you’d think being dead would give you a pass, right?), he discovers that life—er, death?—as a ghost isn’t that bad. He’d probably even enjoy it, if not for one thing: students cannot leave Phantom Academy until they graduate. He can’t check on his family. He can’t see his cat. In fact, he can’t leave the Spirit Realm at all.

As his homesickness builds, Finn convinces his new friends they should escape. But finding the way out is harder than he anticipated, especially when their biggest clue mysteriously goes missing. Finn’s not giving up, though, not with his human memories growing fuzzier and fuzzier with time. They just need to find a way through the veil…
