Summary: "Shadowland" is one word- - - -Awesome!
Review: I was lucky enough to find this series and haven't been able to stop reading them. The first book is proabably the best "first" book in a series I've ever read. Suze is an awesome main character-the plot keeps you goin and goin....at the end of every chapter is a cliff-hanger forcing you to read the next chapter until you finish the book. I can't rave enough about this series-a must read. I do recommend reading the books in order. The action seemed as if the book could have been an action movie...put it this was there is an excersism in the conclusion! Fantastic book.

Summary: Fast paced fun
Review: Jenny Carroll (Meg Cabot) is an awesome author. Every book that I have read of hers, I like. "Shadowland" is about a girl, Susannah, who has this amazing ability. Susannah is a Mediator and can see, hear, and touch ghosts. It is her "job" to help these ghosts to find their way to the other side...whatever that may be. As if having an unwanted job wasn't enough, she is also the "typical" 16 year-old girl. She just moved from NY to CA because her mother married another man. In CA, she hopes her life will be different...and it is. As she says, "it's worse". The ghost of a really cute guy lives in her bedroom, a girl who committed suicide wants revenge on an ex-boyfriend and Suze, and Suze finally meets another Mediator-a Priest. This story is fast paced, and a fun read. I think all teen girls can relate in some way to Susannah. She is quick-witted, quick-tempered, a bit cocky, and tough (sometimes she resorts to "kicking some ghost butt" to send them on their way to the other side). The story leaves room for more books and the reader wanting more. All in all, a good read. Way to go, Jenny Carroll!

Summary: Shadowland
Review: Let me tell you, this is an excellent series! If you haven't read this yet and your interested in ghosts, you have to read this! Meg Cabot is awesome! Susannah Simon has just been dragged from New York to Carmel, California to live with her new stepbrothers, Doc, Dopey, and Sleepy, and stepdad, Andy. And to make things even worse, her new school and home are all old buildings. For most people, that would be alright. But not for Suze. Because she's a mediator--someone who can touch, hear, see, and kick ghost butt.
To top it off, there's the ghost of a dead cowboy living in her room, another mediator that she runs into on the first day of school, and Heather, an angry ghost girl who comitted suicide a few weeks before term started again and now has it out for it for her old boyfriend, who just happens to be still alive. So, yeah, Suze has her work cut out for her. Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did if you read it.

Summary: perfect
Review: ok, so I was bored.
Its spring break and to spend some quality time at the beach, you need a book.
I was desperate, I looked all over the library and only came out with this book. I was dissapointed. I don't normally read stuff like this, but I just need SOMETHING to read so I picked it up. I couldn't put it down. I had to go back the next morning to the library to see if they had the next one in the series... thank god they did. I loved the ending. It was perfect. It was one of those books u read, then u set down thinking "wow, that was really [good]BR>it was too.. i mean. I read some good books. And im a sucker for series (Fearless-Francine Pascal and Sweep-Cate Tiernan)but this one really topped them all. I love how they ended it with the Beatles song Here Comes the Sun. do do doo dooo..

Summary: Great, Funny, and you GOTTA read it!
Review: Picture, if you will, being able to talk to ghosts since the age of two. Now 16, totally devoid of social life and friends (with the exception of one), with matters made worse by your mom re-marrying and dragging you from NY to live in sunny California, you are still cursed with ghost-vision and having to forever help them get to the afterlife. Now you know how Susannah Simon, Mediator Extraordinaire, feels. Never mind that there's a totally hot dead cowboy living in her new bedroom, or that her new principal is a fellow mediator... She's more concerned about stuff like, how for the first time, she's starting to get friends, and maybe even a boyfriend. But she's not sure if she'll live to keep them, with a suicided (and totally mental, in my opinion) girl ghost after her, the girl's ex (who just happens to be suze's new beau), and everything Suze holds dear. You'll get the whole story, as told by Suze, complete with sarcasm, opinions, and humor. Jenny Carroll is a great author, whether she's writing under Meg Cabot or any other name. I luv this series, and all her other ones...I recommend this to older children, teens, and anyone else thats interested in teen dilemmas, horror, sci-fi, humor... Or just a plain good read!

Summary: Enjoyable Fast Read
Review: Shadowland is a must read. Susannah Simon is the new student in town at a Catholic Private School. She is a strong, determined, young women that doesn't shy away from much, except boys.
Although she is aware of her "gift" she still hasn't used it to her fullest potential.
I can't wait until she spends more time with Jesse.

Summary: Shadowland... Are you a good ghost or a bad ghost?
Review: Shadowland's a good book. It starts out and ends good, in fact, i went out and bought the rest of the series when i was done reading it. The only problem with it is the fact that one in while it gets a little unbelievable; she such a touchy chick, so tough and a little fake. but besides that it's good. it's about a girl who can talk to, see and touch ghost and well...kick their butts. sometime they can get violent, like the ghost chick haunting thier school...
