Anya's Ghost, by Vera Brosgol


Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol; graphic novel, young adult; 224 pages

Anya wants nothing more than to fit in at her high school. She want to lose weight, lose the last of her Russian heritage, and get better grades. When she falls down an abandoned well, she meets a ghost who promises to give her all of that, and more--the boy of her dreams.

I picked this up from the recommendations of the writers of Unshelved, and loved it. Anya is a pretty typical teenager, without falling into the usual high school stereotypes. The ghost story starts off innocuous enough, but quickly turns creepy. Loved this!
