THE GHOST OF ASHBURY HIGH

 Author (last name first):
Moriarty, Jaclyn  
Publisher, Date of Publication: 

Artur A. Levine Books/2010

Grade Level/ or Age Level: 

8th - 12th

Classification:  Fiction 


Most of the story take place in essay forms as if the HSC(Higher School Certificate) English exam was on the topic of gothic fiction. The HSC is a series of exams taken by students in New South Wales at the end of their final year of school. Amelia and Riley are the subject of most of the students' essays because of their mysterious appearances during their senior year at Ashbury.
The Book is a bit confusing because it not only has several students' essays but it has letters that the board members of the school write back and forth  and their feelings about allowing Amelia and Riley into their school. Amelia and Riley are ghosts. The cover was beautifully done and helped with the appeal of the book. 
There is an AR Test for this book as well.
