Book Review: Haint Misbehavin' by Maureen Hardegree

Heather Tildy is fourteen years old, has hypersensitive skin and can see a ghost named Amy. As if those things aren’t hard enough, it gets more complicated over the summer. Amy tags along with Heather everywhere she goes and weird things start to happen, making Heather look like even more of a weirdo to her sister and her friends, but even worse, to the hot lifeguard at the pool. Heather has to find a way to help Amy continue her journey and she has to do it fast because her fibs and outrageous explanations for the weird goings-on are going to catch up with her.

Heather’s haint, Amy, pesky though she might be with her shenanigans, is charming and entertaining. Many readers will be able to relate to Heather’s family with large doses of sibling rivalry and parents who don’t understand. Haint Misbehavin’ is a fun teen read, filled with the awkward and sometimes comedic situations many people experience, although not usually due to the influence of a ghost.
