The Ghost and the Goth is a 2010 paranormal romance young adult novel written by Stacey Kade and published by Hyperion Books.[2] It is the first book in The Ghost and the Goth Trilogy. The book follows two different view points, Alona Dare (The Ghost) and Will Killian (The Goth).

Plot summary

Alona Dare was the most popular girl in school, at least she was until she was hit by a bus. Returning to the scene of her death as a ghost, she expects everyone to be upset over her death, but her classmates move on faster than she had hoped. The only person that can see and hear her is Will Killian, the school outcast and ghost-talker. Alona, used to getting her own way, haunts Will until he agrees to help her figure out how to cross over to the big white light that she keeps expecting. Will has problems of his own; every ghost in Groundsboro High, including a seething black mass of energy, knows that he can see them, and they all want him to carry out their final wishes. Will and Alona have to work together to get the ghosts to move on, and figure out what Alona has to do in order to move on to the white light.
