Reviews
"Not Quite a Ghost is that rare book that manages to deeply satisfy on several levels: it's a delightfully creepy haunting; an authentically tender middle school friendship drama; and an all-too-realistic portrait of a girl whose undiagnosed illness is the scariest specter of all. I loved it." - Elana K. Arnold, award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat "Anne Ursu hooks the reader through realistic, engaging characters and builds the suspense until it's unbearable. What exactly is haunting Violet? You'll get paper cuts on your fingertips turning the pages fast enough to find out." - J.A. White, author of Nightbooks "Ursu perceptively incorporates middle school drama into a page-turning tale about the difficulties of managing an invisible illness and any accompanying skepticism from friends and healthcare providers." - Publishers Weekly "Not Quite a Ghost is not quite like anything I've read. Insightful and creepy, surprising and tense, this ghost story is wonderfully and exuberantly human." - Eliot Schrefer, New York Times-bestselling author of The Darkness Outside Us "Anne Ursu has done it again: Not Quite a Ghost is a tender-yet-fierce hug of a story, complete with heartbreaking (and heartwarming) friendship ups and downs, a sensitive and honest exploration of invisible illness, and a truly creepy thing that lives inside the walls of a very special house. I want to press this beautiful book into the hands of everyone I know." - Claire Legrand, New York Times-bestselling author of Some Kind of Happiness "This is a story about a haunted house--but it's also a fresh, modern look at unexplained health issues, COVID-19 anxiety, changing friendships, and blended families. Compulsively readable and relatable, Ursu's twisty middle grade novel is highly recommended." - School Library Journal (starred review) "Ursu draws on familiar elements of ghost stories and the renewed attention Long COVID has brought to chronic illness to create a deeply poignant exploration of what it means to be sick in a way the rest of the world dismisses." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "Ursu maintains a light but decidedly eerie touch as she weaves her "not quite a ghost" story, in which the house itself becomes a character and slowly reveals its secrets. She simultaneously writes in a compelling way about difficult-to-diagnose, recurring illnesses." - Horn Book (starred review) "An empathetic examination of one girl's fight to regain normalcy, the narrative validates the reality of the unseen." - Booklist, "Not Quite a Ghost is that rare book that manages to deeply satisfy on several levels: it's a delightfully creepy haunting; an authentically tender middle school friendship drama; and an all-too-realistic portrait of a girl whose undiagnosed illness is the scariest specter of all. I loved it." -- Elana K. Arnold, award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat

Synopsis
Named one of the Best Books of 2024 by the Chicago Public Library, New York Public Library, and NPR! From the award-winning author of The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy comes an unforgettable and deeply personal story of the ghosts that surround us--and the ones we carry inside. The house seemed to sit apart from the others on Katydid Street, silent and alone, like it didn't fit among them. For Violet Hart--whose family is about to move into the house on Katydid Street--very little felt like it fit anymore. Like their old home, suddenly too small since her mother remarried and the new baby arrived. Or Violet's group of friends, which, since they started middle school, isn't enough for Violet's best friend, Paige. Everything seemed to be changing at once. But sometimes, Violet tells herself, change is okay. That is, until Violet sees her new room. The attic bedroom in their new house is shadowy, creaky, and wrapped in old yellow wallpaper covered with a faded tangle of twisting vines and sickly flowers. And then, after moving in, Violet falls ill--and does not get better. As days turn into weeks without any improvement, her family growing more confused and her friends wondering if she's really sick at all, she finds herself spending more time alone in the room with the yellow wallpaper, the shadows moving in the corners, wrapping themselves around her at night. And soon, Violet starts to suspect that she might not be alone in the room at all., Advertising in key school & library media, such as School Library Journal, The Horn Book and Booklist Featured title on HarperStacks, the school & library digital marketing hub Author feature/interview Middle Grade SEL group promotion, including dedicated newsletter "Award-Winning Creators" Digital Campaign Lead promotion at school & library conferences and preview events (virtual and in-person) Featured title in Edelweiss Librarian Collection promoted at virtual conferences and preview events State and national award mailing
