Stevie-girl and the Phantom Student is the second in a series and is just as good as the first. Probably targeted toward middle-graders, this fifty-year-old found it a fun and enjoyable read.As in the first one, Stevie and her best friend, Jase encounter phantoms that need their help. This time it is a young girl from another time--a former friend of Stevie's dead mother--who appears just when a new student comes to Stevie and Jace's school. Through this spirit and getting to know Derol, the new kid, better, Stevie learns about Tourette syndrome and Albinism.By helping the phantom move on, she also learns about bullying and dealing with those others perceive as `different.'This was a quick enjoyable read. I recommend it to all middle-graders and to their parents.I can't wait to read the third book in this series.
