Something is wrong with Esmé. Kicked out of school in New York, she's sent to live with her grandmother in a small Appalachian town. But something is wrong with the grandmother Ez hasn't seen for years; she leaves at midnight, carrying a big black bag. Something is wrong with her grandmother's house, a decrepit mansion full of stray cats, stairs that lead to nowhere, beds that unmake themselves. Something is wrong in the town where a kid disappears every year, where a whistle sounds at night but no train arrives. And something is wrong with the cute and friendly neighbor Ez's age with black curls and ice-blue eyes: He's dead.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. fun story! By Maghon Thomas So I saw some of the ridiculous reviews written for this book. My reply to them is you have to finish the damn book to write a review and know what happens! Sorry it annoys me when reviewers just use their words meanly! Now into my review. I actually really liked this book. Not for my normal reasons either. It should be labeled a paranormal mystery in my view. It's not fast paced- it's a suspenseful slow unraveling of a wonderful ghost story! And the paranormal part- fantastic because it's unique. Lemme tell you!! What if your gift allowed you to completely interact with ghosts by becoming one without dying. This dreaming blew my mind with how awesome this was done. Yes, it's not my normal fast paced action packed blow things up paranormal. This is a sweet reminiscent inspirational find yourself story. And I think it broke my heart at the end!!Esme is different. She knows this. But things start happening and she's struggling. So her sister sends her to her grandmother. I won't spoil anything more than I already did but I would be a tearful insane mess if what happened to her happened to me. I would be utterly devastated. Isolation to me is horrible! But then she meets Tom, Clara, Martha, Mr Black. I mean yes they are different but they are people with feelings in a rough situation like her. I fell in love with them! Except one. You see there's always a bad guy and esme needs to find herself, figure out her gift, and save them all from the bad guy.I liked the writing and I think the story is so unique that I couldn't help but like it! It's got it's own freshness that sometimes just keeps you captivated. I really couldn't put it down because I had to know the ending. And I loved the great transformation of esme finding herself. There were a few explanations I would have liked to have a little bit more thoroughly but nothing huge! With that said, this is still a ghost story that's pretty awesome! 4.25 PAWS!! :)
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Unique ghost story; 4.5 stars By S. Mahnken In Supervision, the narrator, Esme Wong, has been having problems in school, and after she is injured in the subway, she is sent from her home in New York to live with her grandmother in a small town. Esme is apprehensive about the move; she hasn’t seen her grandmother in years and remembers her home as being very strange. When she gets there, her fears seem justified, because her grandmother and everyone else ignores her like she’s invisible, except for two strange teenaged siblings named Tom and Clara. Then they reveal to Esme that they are ghosts. But that’s just the beginning of the strangeness, as Esme learns that she has unique skills that enable her to interact with the spirits haunting her new home. And those skills are necessary, because one of the unquiet dead has a long and murderous history, and only Esme may be able to lay him to rest . . . .Given the very vague description given for this novel, I was a little hesitant to read it, because I wasn’t sure what I was getting into. It’s a hard book to summarize without giving away too much of the story, which I don’t want to do, because half the pleasure of reading it is learning along with Esme just what is happening to her. What I can say is that I thoroughly enjoyed the unique ghost story presented in the novel. I was totally sucked in by the mystery that Esme encounters in her new home to the point that I was unable to put the book down. As I read, I found myself greatly empathizing with Esme, who is very unhappy with her life at the beginning of the novel and gradually comes into her own as she interacts with the ghosts surrounding her. Some of those ghosts are extremely likeable, and the murderous one is quite creepy. And there’s a sweet love story between Esme and Tom, too.I think maybe whether or not you enjoy this novel will depend to some extent on how much you are willing to just go with the flow of the story and let it exist in its own reality, which is very different from our own. I wouldn't quite call it magical realism, but that might be the best way to think of it. The novel is very dreamlike in tone. For example, characters don't always react the way you and I might react if something paranormal happened to us; they just accept it and go on. At one point Esme is literally running up a staircase that disappears as she runs, exactly like a nightmare. There are definitely plot holes regarding the metaphysics surrounding the ghosts, which sometimes bothered me as I was reading. Ghosts can affect the physical world, BUT everything they do is eventually undone. So how can a ghost murder someone? The resolution of the problem of the murderous ghost isn't fully explained and didn’t quite make sense to me, either. But in general I found myself so caught up in the unfolding of the story that I was willing to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy the ride.An ARC of this novel was provided by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I guess I did like this book By Alicia N. I guess I did like this book, even if it was a bit confusing. The premise was really neat. How the ghost world operates, and all that. It was kind of the usual stuff, but also some really neat new stuff as well.The usual being that ghosts can touch/move objects and each other, but can’t be sensed by most of the living. Also that they remain as ghosts if they have unfinished business and then pass on to the next- and final- phase of existence.I definitely feel as if this was more of a plot-driven story than a character-driven one. I wasn’t too fond of Esmé, but that may have been because I hardly knew anything about her. There wasn’t that much exposition. And her little love story kind of felt like it was background. It was cute, and sad, but background. As for the other ghosts, well, naturally they were one-dimensional, because they all had that one unfinished thing before they passed.But I did enjoy the plot. It was a little random, a little confusing, a bit scary, somewhat unexpected, but really interesting. I loved the beginning, how she was completely ignored and didn’t understand why. It was so eerie. I couldn’t figure it out myself until a few days of it, and then I began piecing it together. But even then I was a little wrong (Wong? Wrong? Get it? Haha). Some things were kinda predictable or easy to figure out but mostly I was on my toes. So many new things and aspects of ghosthood kept coming into play. Especially towards the end, when things got really crazy and I didn’t know what was going on until the last second, and even then I was still confused about some things (nothing I probably couldn’t reason out after thinking about it a bit), but mostly I was happy for a resolution. And all the little subplots, too. Although there was one loose tie at the end…Louise.But generally I think this is a fun quick read, if just for the premise. It’s always fun for me, reading about new takes on the afterlife.See the full review on my blog, Awesome Book Assessment: http://www.awesomebookassessment.com/2015/04/supervision-by-alison-stine.html
