Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn't kidding about the "Forever" part . . .

Of all the things Anya expected to find at the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them. Especially not a new friend who's been dead for a century.

Falling down a well is bad enough, but Anya's normal life might actually be worse. She's embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her body, and she's pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new friend--even a ghost--is just what she needs.

Or so she thinks.

Customer Reviews

condition means as is.....no cleaning done

I received my book and it was in good condition. it had some wear like corner damage and bent pages but the odd thing was a BROWN stain on the book cover and some dirt. when I read the conditions in the FAQ i always thought it meant these were conditions that could not be improved or changed but the stain wasn't necessary to leave on the book or the dirt. A little cleaning should have been done. luckily I was able to remove most of the stain (whatever it was, im hoping it was food) and to get a reasonable amount of the dirt from it. not a bad find

Not worth buying.

Not worth buying. I’m an avid book reader and not only love a great book but love to buy books for gifts. This was to be a gift but the content was full of foul language and bad attitudes/behaviors. Not worth the money or time spent reading.
