Grades 7-12 Brody has begun his transformation from dumpy loser to psychically powered hero in this second volume of six. Caught between the slow teachings of his master and the impatient desires of his ghost friend Talia, Brody is starting to see the spirit world and his own world colliding. Crilleys beautiful, almost-realistic art is the perfect backdrop for this deceptively simple story about a man trying to overcome his past. Action, humor, and a cliff-hanger ending ensure that readers will be begging for the next book. Extras about the creation of the series will inspire budding comic artists.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
