The Ghost In Me by Shaunda K Wenger
Genre – Middle Grade / YA
Rating – G
4.5 (13 reviews)
Myri Monaco has problems she doesn’t know how to deal with: a crush on her best friend’s boyfriend, a mother who’s dating her science teacher, and a “punishment” for a science project that lands her in auditions for the school play (the last place she wants to be). But most girls don’t have a ghost living at home who is willing to “trade places” whenever she’s needed. Will ghostly possession be an easy solution when problems collide? Or will Myri lose everything to a ghost wanting to fulfill her own desires?

When a giant fireball smashes into the earth, the unicorns struggle to survive the hurricanes and starvation that follow.
