Definitely afun YA novel with a twist, and I'd recommend it to paranormal fansas well as those who don't usually read paranormal books.0 of 0people found the following review helpful. Ialso liked Jeff's parents, who seemed permissive while still beingloving and concerned, and were a major contrast to Sera and Khail'sparents, not to mention Kimberlee's inattentive ones.
I likedthat even after she's died, nobody has anything good to say abouther (except perhaps Jeff), and that while most people are simplythrilled to get their stuff returned, there are mixed reactions. I'm not normally a paranormalreader, and sometimes have trouble getting into other worlds, butKimberlee, aside from being a ghost, seemed pretty normal.
Even thoughthe book is called Life After Theft, it's much more about Jeff, ashe negotiates his relationship with Sera, who he starts outconsidering out of his league, and her brother, Khail, who agreesto help him return the stolen goods. The two probably wouldn't have been friendswhen Kimberlee was alive, and what I found interesting is that eventhough Kimberlee wants all the stolen stuff returned, save for onemajor plot twist, she is mostly not such a changed person, evenafter over a year spying on her classmates from afar. He comes around and Kimberlee begs him to help her return thetreasure trove of stuff she's stolen, both from her classmates (shenever really had friends), teachers and stores.Jeff agrees, bothfor the sake of his conscience and to help Kimberlee solve herproblem and go back to wherever she's supposed to be, rather thancontinue haunting him. Kimberlee Schaffer starts out withoutshowing how thrilled she is (or should be) that someone can finallysee her, but more with the demand that Jeff talk to her and helpher. Jeff's new at school and doesn't realize that thegirl who's lying in the hallway is actually dead, and he's the onlyone who can see her ghost.
New Kid Tries toMake Friends and Help a Klepto Ghost Make AmendaBy Rachel KramerBusselI read the prequel, One Day More, to Life After Theft first,so I wasn't expecting the book to be from Jeff's point of view, butI enjoyed it. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
