Good Ghouls Do
Julie Kenner
- Reading
- Try reading a little together first, then check in about the threats and tone. Continue independently or pause according to your reader’s response.
- Themes
- Vampirism and the wish for a former life: Beth is unhappy about being undead and seeks the person who turned her; vampirism is also spreading at school. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Threats between characters: Beth’s boyfriend has become a vampire, and the stated premise says his only hope is to kill her. The premise establishes danger within a dating relationship, but not how the story frames that danger.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a character needing to kill to regain her life, and a boyfriend who hopes to kill her. The intensity and depiction of these threats are unclear.
