Description

AN INDIE NEXT PICK!

A novel of ghosts, grief and the friends who make it all ok by #1 New York Times bestselling co-author Mark Oshiro!


"Heartfelt, funny, fast-paced, and spooky—this book will indeed haunt you in all the best ways. I was hooked from page one!"
—Rick Riordan, New York Times #1 best-selling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

Jasmine Garza has a problem: a ghost has been following her for years, ever since her Papi died. Not that Mami will admit anything supernatural is going on. But even the ghost she won’t acknowledge makes real trouble, so Jasmine and her mami are moving (again) to a new apartment in East Hollywood. This time Jasmine is committed to living a normal life with normal friends.

Enter: Bea Veracruz and Jorge Barrera. They’re the only two members of Jasmine's middle school's Gay Straight Alliance and they’re already obsessed with all things supernatural. Bea wants to prove herself to her paranormal investigator parents and Jorge is determined to overcome his fear of the beyond. And when Jasmine confesses she’s been tormented by a ghost for years, they not only believe her, they’re thrilled!

Together they set out to prove that Jasmine’s not just acting out after her father’s death–ghosts are real and Jasmine is haunted. But not everyone agrees how to deal with the departed. As Jasmine’s hauntings increase in intensity, her resentment builds. Why is her Mami so secretive about her past? Why is she the center of such a terrible vortex of supernatural activity? And why hasn’t her Papi ever reached out to her since he passed?

In order to face her ghosts—both internal and external—Jasmine must come to terms with her own history.

"Jasmine Is Haunted is a deft and poignant tale of grief, mystery, and ghosts. Oshiro seamlessly blends themes of the supernatural with an emotionally resonant and punchy plot. Queer kids and ghost-hunter vibes? I can't think of anything better!" -Kalynn Bayron, New York Times bestselling author of The Vanquishers

"Oshiro's new middle-grade tale dips into the supernatural realm while including a message to not be afraid of being honest with loved ones. Readers will appreciate Oshiro presenting sexuality as being fluid for the characters, all the while making it a chilling read for those who prefer being spooked before bedtime." —Booklist 

"Captivating and emotionally nuanced paranormal adventure...that explores themes of family secrets and heritage. Spine-tingling descriptions of the trio’s experiences with things beyond the veil such as pulsating and oozing shadows add tension to meditations on life and death as seen through a Latinx narrator’s eyes." —Publishers Weekly 

"A sincere, spooky, supernatural mystery with Latine roots that explores powerful bonds."-Kirkus Reviews
