Now You See it... by Vivian Vande Velde
I had to wrestle Now You See It... away from the next reader in line. She took it before I could blog it and I think she was trying to smuggle it into bed. (wrestle,wrestle) I got it back for a few hours.
This book is a lot of fun! Wendy has issues. Her parents are divorced and remarried, she has a stepsister who is not evil but is more beautiful and popular than Wendy, and her beloved Grandmother has alzheimers. Wendy hates her glasses and dreams of a relationship with her Kindergarten crush.
One day Wendy finds a pair of sunglasses on the lawn. She tries them on and not only are they her prescription (yeah, right) but she can see newly dead people leaving their bodies, weird arches, and some of her classmates look totally different when viewed through the sunglasses. Of course, these are not your average sunglasses from the mall store and much hilarity and true courage follow.
