Invisible Ghosts

A ghost loses control a few times and overturns tables. One character is hit in the face and injured by a thrown alarm clock. A kid falls and dislocates his shoulder.

A high-school romance is a major plot point, so story has lots of descriptions of physical attractiveness, attraction, and longing. A few scenes of kissing and making out. One graphic description of a heavy make-out session just short of sex.

Characters swear infrequently and mostly for emphasis, including "f--k," "s--t," "bitch," "God," "crap," "d--k," "damn," "butt," a--hole," "dumba--."

Teens drink beer at three different parties but don't get drunk. At one party, the parents allow the drinking using the "We'd rather you did it at home" argument. One character drives after drinking but isn't drunk. One character sees kids using a vape pen at a party.

Parents need to know that Invisible Ghosts by Robyn Schneider (Extraordinary Means, The Beginning of Everything) is a combination light romance and ghost story about a teen who's struggling after the death of her brother. The book centers on Rose's regular visits with her brother's ghost, her budding relationship with a boy at school, and the complications that arise from both of those relationships. Issues around grief, guilt, and how to move on from loss factor largely into the story. Other important topics include dating and friendships. Most of the characters display typical teen behavior, such as lying to parents, some drinking, and making out, but there's nothing too extreme here. Characters swear rarely ("f--k," "s--t," and "crap"). Teens drink at three different parties, but no one is shown drunk.
