It’s the same story over and over…the girl has something every guy is craving to take from her. It isn’t a super cool, shiny new car, nor is it the latest PS3 game. It is a bit more personal, and once that guy takes it, it can never be given back. We will solve this riddle later as Maya had to do on her own. She is a typical high school teenager with the desire to hang out with her friends, stay away from the controlling jerk she was dating, and share as many secrets with her best friend, Lucy, as she can. Her parents own a small restaurant in town, and she keeps busy working there after school often followed by training in karate. Apparently, this isn’t enough; she tries to squeeze in short 5 minute visits with her Grandmother as often as possible. She must do this away from all of her family. They just wouldn’t understand. They wouldn’t want to see Grandma, you see, Grandma is dead – has been for years.
Maya is a very special girl with very special gifts. One may call her a witch, others may consider her gifted. The girls at school call her a loser. Maya’s special gifts cause her to not only be able to see ghosts, but she can communicate with them, and the dearly departed can take solid shape for the short amount of time they are in very close proximity to Maya. With all this being said, Maya has one more precious gift – she is a high school VIRGIN.
Recently raised ghosts of the sunken ship, The Black Lady, are more interested in that than the sunken treasure that is buried fathoms below the ocean. I know it is quite common for the common teenage boy to be anxiously pursuing this rarity, but a group of long dead spirits? What gives, fellas?
I found myself quickly submerged (pun intended) in this engaging read about Maya and her adventures in this small, ocean side town. The style of Faherty once again leaves me a happy reader. His style is once that draws you in, easily read and understood, and completely encompassing. I had to slow myself down quite a few times to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I kept wanting to read faster and faster to see what was going to happen to this quaint little group of students next.
As much as I loved Maya, she was a wonderful heroine, Lucy had to be my favorite character of the book. She reminds me a lot of me. She is kind of harsh, tells people exactly what is on her mind, but is fiercely loyal to those she loves. That is a girl after my own heart.
This book is great for the young, old, and everyone else in between. I am so glad I got the chance to read this book, and I look forward to the time I will have a chance to read it again, or better yet, read more adventures about Maya and her clan!!
