You Can Never Go Home Again

You Can Never Go Home Again by Dyan Sheldon is about a girl, Angel, and her famliy that split up,and she's forced to move. The house they move into is occupied by the ghost of a young boy name BJ. He lives in the attic and the only person who knows about him is Angel's little brother. Dyan Sheldon uses strong descriptive and visual words that make you feel like the ghost is standing next to you while you are reading. Anyone who enjoys books about ghosts and suspense must read You Can Never Go Home Again. I give it five stars!

Haunted dreams 1

I first read this book back in 1995 and over the years I must have re-read it about ten times. I fell in love with BJ (who with his tortured life cannot fail to remind you of James Dean) while I felt sympathy and annoyance for Angel. Dyan Sheldon has clearly created the perfect characters with Angel and BJ. They are two lonely souls that are lumbered together. They do not know it but they are the only ones that can help eachother. This is a story about forgetting the past and moving onto the future and I cannot reccomend it enough.

An excellent mix of teenage anger & ghost story

This book was packed with emotion! It always leaves you guessing what is going to happen next. There is never a dull moment. It really makes you think about divorce & moving on. I'd recommend this book to any young adult.

Excellent

I luved this book. It's just the type of books I like to read. I can't wait to read the sequel. Wish a ghost like B.J would haunt me.

It is the best book I have ever read

This is the best book I have ever read! I read it some years back and I have never forgotten the title or the book. I love the way it combines sarcasm and life together to make a hilarious story.
