When two new exchange students come to Ashbury High who seem to be stuck in their own world, everyone, including the teachers, starts dressing and acting differently to try and get them to take notice.
Amelia and Riley have been in love since they were fourteen. By night they dance and dance; by day they sleep through all of their classes. Mysterious things, however, start happening when they arrive at Ashbury High. Emily seems to be drawn towards her past before she ran away from home, and possibly even before that time. Torn on what to do, Riley asks for the help of his classmates to pull Amelia out of this dangerous obsession.
Amelia's past isn't the only thing the school has to worry about, though. A girl named Emily keeps sensing a cold, threatening presence in the Art Room. When she tells the principal, he threatens to not sign off on her major unless she can prove there really is something there.
Could there really be a ghost haunting Ashbury High? Could it and the mysterious couple have some connection to each other? Can Riley pull Amelia out of the past before it's too late?
THE GHOSTS OF ASHBURY HIGH is a gripping, intriguing read. The characters are well-developed, mysterious, and likable. The plot is well-developed and moves at a good pace. Although it might be helpful to have read Ms. Moriarty's first three books in order to understand the preexisting community in the Ashbury-Brookfield saga, it is not necessary. Those who like mystery, fantasy, paranormal, and realistic fiction will enjoy reading this book.
