Lights by Brenna Thummler
5.0
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity.*
LIGHTS, the third and final installment of the highly acclaimed Ghosts series, continues the story of friends Wendell (the ghost), Marjorie, and Eliza as they decide to investigate the cause of Wendell's untimely death. This book, quiet and so very graceful, explores the themes of compromise, friendship, and grief-- never losing sight of it's original charm.
Thummler did a wonderful job of handling heavy topics with a sensitive hand. Each of the characters imperfect (they are, after all, not only human but middle school aged) and Thummler balanced between fantasy and real-life drama many girls face. Wendell's story was beautiful, and the ending was immensely satisfying.
A wonderful addition to any middle-grade library, LIGHTS is sure to not disappoint.
