Bliss

Murder, the occult, racism, and culture shock combine to create a compelling horror story by Lauren Myracle, bestselling author of TTYL. Abruptly uprooted from a commune when her hippie parents flee a country run by newly elected President Nixon for Canada, Bliss is sent to live with her conservative Atlanta grandmother and enrolled in Crestview Academy. There, she is confused by the back-stabbing, racist culture, and haunted by the ghosts on campus. The book is set nostalgically in the late 1960s, and the setting (complete with the Manson murders and other events), along with mysteries and some definite creepiness, make for compelling young adult reading.
