Description
In the tradition of the loveable but flawed heroines from Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson Books, Kathleen O'Dell's Agnes Parker novels, and Lois Lowry's Anastasia Krupnik books comes Elizabeth Cody Kimmel's Kat Roberts. All Kat wants is to be normal, or at least to look that way to students at her new school. But her mother is a medium, and not the kind that fits in between small and large; Kat's mom is the kind of medium who sees spirits and communicates with them. And, even worse, Kat has just discovered that she can see spirits too. In fact, she seems to be the only one capable of helping a spirit at her school cross over successfully. The question is can she do it without needing to switch schools herself?
In this the first of three SUDDENLY SUPERNATURAL books, Elizabeth Cody Kimmel brings humor, heart, and a little supernatural charm to the trials and tribulations of finding out who you are and who you want to be—all while surviving the seventh grade.

        September 1, 2008
        Gr 4-7-For Kat, life in Medford, NY, is complicated. Her mom's a professional medium, communing with spirits. After Kat's 13th birthday, she starts seeing ghosts, too, and she fears being ostracized and perpetually friendless. She becomes friendly with Jac, a talented cellist who lugs around her instrument but hasn't played since an incident of intense stage fright, and together the reluctant medium and reluctant musician share their secrets, Kat's new dog, and a supernatural experience in the school library. The ghost of a flute-playing former student needs their help. This is middle-grade fiction meets "Ghost Whisperer", combining a spectral plot with a stereotypical adolescent setting that kids will relate tocatty peers and dealing with the social hierarchy mapped out in lunch tables. The book isn't scary, but there is a creepy moment during a predawn school "break-in." The main characters are likable, and the mystery's clues are well paced. There is occasional unnatural-sounding dialogue and odd/old slang. Pop-cultural references abound. Unresolved conflicts remain but are interesting enough to merit reading further installments."Danielle Serra, Cliffside Park Public Library, NJ"

        Like most seventh graders, Kat longs to fit in, but with a mom who's a medium ("and I don't mean the kind that fits in between small and large") and Kat's own emerging "spirit sight," this proves to be a tall order. Fellow misfit Jac is new to Kat's school; she's a gifted cellist with debilitating performance anxiety, an overbearing stage mother, and no desire to kowtow to the popular kids. At first, the girls are just lunch-table companions -- at one of the "midlist spillover tables, for people who don't really fit into a specific group but aren't officially outcasts." They soon form their own group of two (or three, if you count Jac's ever-present cello). Kat is a smart and witty narrator with a wry sense of humor and keen observations about middle-school and mother-daughter dynamics. With Jac's unwavering and enthusiastic support, Kat comes to terms with her supernatural gift and accepts the attendant responsibilities of helping the dead communicate with the living. Kimmel spends a lot of time laying the groundwork in this first in a projected series, and as a result the narrative pace is rather leisurely. But the book is so inviting -- from the open page design to Kat's engaging voice -- that readers will thoroughly enjoy unraveling the supernatural mystery.
