SuitabookWays to See a Ghost
Emily Diamand
- Reading
- Consider reading alongside the book if ghosts, a dead sibling or peril may be upsetting. Pause after the society’s intentions become clearer to discuss persuasion and recognising when charm may disguise risk.
- Themes
- Ghosts and grief: Isis sees ghosts, including her dead younger sister Angel. The supernatural ability appears central, while the emotional meaning of Angel’s ghost remains unclear.
- Trust and persuasion: Isis’s mother joins a psychic society led by charismatic Philip Syndal, whose intentions are described as sinister. The story appears to invite attention to the gap between charm and trustworthiness, but its judgement of belief systems is not established.
- Friendship amid family change: Isis and Gray are forced together when their parents start dating, then develop a friendship. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Be ready for grief surrounding Isis’s dead younger sister, frightening supernatural material and serious danger.
