TheNew York Timesbestselling series based on the wildly popular YouTube channel about an "adorkable" teenager living in a haunted house.
Sunshine Griffith can communicate with ghosts. Even more amazing-to herself; her boyfriend, Nolan; and her adoptive mom, Kat-she's recently learned she's a luiseach, one of an ancient race of creatures who protect humans from dark spirits and help them move on to the afterlife.
Sunshine's supernatural abilities grow stronger by the day, and danger draws closer: the demon army wants Sunshine dead. Her biological mother, Helena, and the mysterious man in black, may be lying in wait. Fortunately for Sunshine, she has a lot of people (and ghosts) to protect her-including Ridgemont's mysterious new student, Sebastian. But time is running out as an unexpected event unleashes a fierce war between the luiseach and the demon army. Sunshine will soon learn a shocking truth about herself. . . and what sort of sacrifice is required to save the world.
Leveled for grades 5+.

Recenzii
“Read if you dare!”
—Seventeen Magazine
“Love, betrayal, tortured choices and a fabulous vintage motorcycle all factor into this thrilling YA paranormal story. You may not be able to put this book down once you begin reading it. Take my advice: Start reading The Awakening of Sunshine Girl on a Friday night so you'll have fewer distractions over the next two days!
— Rochelle Campbell
“Sunshine's powers are unique. She doesn't just help humans transition to
the afterlife; her empathy allows her to feel connections to their whole lived experience, a power that proves both dangerous and useful… Sunshine continues to be a likable protagonist who strives to grow into herself and her unusual role in life. A cliff-hanger ending will have fans clamoring for the third installment.”
—Booklist
“Sunshine's story started as a YouTube series, and this creepy, suspenseful story condenses the plot of the original and offers a more polished voice than the videos. Existing fans won't be the only ones eager for more of this strong but vulnerable heroine just awakening to her potential.”
—Booklist(Grades 7-10)
“The plot moves along smoothly and rapidly, and the writing is graceful and wonderfully polished... It's hard not to finish The Haunting of Sunshine Girl.”
— Lev Grossman,Time Magazine
“This sometimes frightening tale and series opener is based on a YouTube channel of the same name, so transmedia fans can enjoy both formats. Readers who appreciated Holly Black's Doll Bones (2013) or Cassandra Clare's City of Bones series ... should consider picking up this creepy debut.”
— Julie Zimmerman,School Library Journal
“When teen prodigy Paige McKenzie sets her mind to do something, she does it big time. 200,000 active YouTube subscribers on her site and over 100 million views, for instance. Not bad for a kid who still gets carded and can't vote. So when she decided to write a scary book, she nailed that one too. By the end of the first chapter I turned on all the lights in the house, even though it was noon. And it wasn't long before I'd retreated into that last-resort safe room buried deep beneath my brain's Fear Center, praying the lock would hold. No such luck. Before I knew McKenzie was out there she'd hacked the door and let all manner of frightening things slither in to get me. ... Things that go bump in the night are afraid to read this book. Things that lurk beneath the bed cry for their mothers by page ten. McKenzie's skill telling the story of a young girl who inadvertently moves into a haunted house with her clueless mother is a thing that slips up behind and puts a cold white hand right down your spine and just won't let go. The book is called The Haunting of Sunshine Girl. Read it if you dare, but don't say I didn't warn you.”
— Wes Craven, Filmmaker

“The Haunting of Sunshine Girlhas all the makings of a creepy story without being straight-up horror. The terrifying moments are strong and seamlessly handled. The reader is right there alongside Sunshine as she first doubts her own perceptions, then fearlessly makes friends with a ghost and resolves to save the day. Her relationship with her mom is touching and real, and her loyal friend Nolan is the perfect sidekick. Teens who loved Goosebumps will be spooked and satisfied by the adventures of Sunshine."
— Allison Chopin,New York Daily News
“The Haunting of Sunshine Girlstarts with mysterious ghostly laughter late one night. The laughter quickly turns to horror.

— Julie Zimmerman,School Library Review
