In Suddenly Supernatural: School Spirit, by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel, 13-year-old Kat has just begun seeing spirits, just like her mother, who is a medium. She at first is not at all happy about this turn of events, but she learns to first accept her lot in life and later to embrace it. That is, she learns to see her strange ability as a gift, rather than a curse. I like Kat, her mother, and Kat’s best friend, Jac, a lot. They are people whose gifts set them apart from “normal” run-of-the-mill people. It’s definitely not always easy for them, but they seem to know that being different isn’t always a bad thing. That in itself makes this book worth reading for me.
