My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Allan Evans delivers in Class Clown! This is the first book I’ve read by this author and he did not disappoint! This book was difficult to put down, full of twists and turns. Class Clown is full of ghosts, hauntings, mystery, intrigue, and typical teenage sarcasm! The characters are well developed and extremely realistic and relatable. I found myself wanting to be friends with Abbey and her team of soccer athletes. They all seem to take the paranormal events that follow Abbey with relative ease, which I thought was maybe a little atypical. The way Allan Evans builds the world in this book so that the reader is transported to the scene, creating a sense of relative calm or foreboding based on the happenings of the story, was absolutely amazing. Beginning Class Clown, I was unaware of other stories featuring Abbey, but found that I didn’t really need to read the other books to fully understand this one. But now, I cannot wait to read more about Abbey and read more books from Allan Evans.

Abbey is a magnet. A magnet for ghosts. She’ll be the first to tell you it’s not glamorous or fun. I mean, how much fun is it when you lose friends and have your life in danger? After a night at the circus with her family, someone, or something, has followed her home; that something is bad. Now with dead clowns at her new high school and friends going missing Abbey is the only one who might be able to help, but she could also be the reason for the craziness…

This was such a fun read! It’s well written and leaves you wanting more from Abbey. She’s strong and independent and you can feel how much she cares about those around her. I haven’t read the first book (Abnormally Abbey) but definitely plan to go back and read it now. It’s not needed in order to read Class Clown though, so no worries on feeling lost!

If you are one to listen to music when you read, an 80’s playlist is what you’ll want for this story. Abbey’s internal song list is bound to get something stuck in your head.

Class Clown is a fun, spooky read and is an exciting twist on Young Adult. Now that I’ve read it, I want to find more Young Adult books in a similar fashion because while we didn’t have ghosts, being a teen was definitely hard work. Throw in some spookiness, and high school gets a lot tougher.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I read this book…but I found myself drawn into the story and didn’t put it down until the last page!

Abbey is trying to navigate high school and making friends…while dealing with the ghosts that she can see and communicate with. She has had such a hard time making real friends in the past, so she is excited when she joins the soccer team. However, after a trip to the circus with her family, she has brought back some unwanted souvenirs…ghost clowns! On top of that, her soccer friends are disappearing. Are those events connected? And can Abbey figure out what the ghosts want and find her friends?

I loved Abbey! She is quirky and unique…and her love for the 80’s sealed the deal for me! She deals with a lot for only being 14, which I admired in her. The story dealt with real life issues, such as friendship, high school, and the fear of clowns, but in an entertaining way that I enjoyed reading!

Abbey just started at a new school. She joined the soccer team and is trying to make new friends. But she has a secret that has caused her to lose friends in the past. She can see ghosts. She starts seeing ghosts of clowns all over her school and now her classmates are starting to dissappear. Can she face her fears, save her classmates and keep her friends when they find out what she sees?

I am terrified of clowns, so of course, I had to read this book! I was hooked from page one. The story is very well written and flows smoothly. The characters are complex but easily likable. This was the first book I’ve read from this author but definitely will not be my last.

I have never been one to find clowns creepy or chilling but there was one particular scene in this book that STILL sits very vividly in my mind. I get a shiver even thinking back on it. This was a really well written story that has a lot of description and attention to detail. I enjoyed Abbey and even her friends. I often find teen characters to be childlike and mildly irritating. This wasn’t the case in Class Clown- the girls were enjoyable and almost relatable.
I would really be interested in reading more from this author.

This book originally caught my eye when I saw the spooky cover – and further when I saw clown in the title. I’m not a fan of clowns in general, but love spooky stuff, paranormal, dystopian kind of reads. This book, and Abbey, are not the “norm”. When you do something so different from the rest, it is either a great move or disastrous, and the author with this move did something outstanding.

Abbey Hill has always had spooky events happen to her with ghosts being drawn her way. Most are friendly, or just confused, but some are downright evil. So many relationships have been lost thanks to her “talent” – and that’s not what she would consider it. After taking a fun family trip to the circus with her parents, Abbey begins noticing ghost clowns everywhere she goes. While that is bad enough, her friends then start disappearing. Is Abbey the cause of her missing friends? Can she fix this?

Abbey is really a great, strong, fun character and carries the story incredibly well. I love her sense of self, her snarkiness, her taste in music – on top of all the other dramas and messes of high school, everything blends so well and is a really intoxicating read. I’m thrilled to find several more books by this author to dig into next!

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and – let me tell you – it will NOT be the last. This Young Adult Paranormal is led by a wonderful female character, Abbey, and is full of twists and turns that will keep you hooked. Like the title suggests, this book is full of clowns. Abbey’s high school is suddenly plagued by evil clowns and, since she can already communicate with ghosts, of course it’s up to her to deal with it. Even though this is the second book in the Ghost Girl series, I read it as a standalone and had no problem. My next endeavor will be to get the first! I recommend with 5 stars!

This is my first read from this author. I loved this book and enjoyed the author’s style of writing. The story is fast paced and flowed well. It is filled with mystery, intrigue and some horror. Who isn’t scared of clowns? Even the happy ones are creepy as hell. This book is a total clown apocalypse. Being only fourteen, Abbey is very brave for her age. She’s mature, spunky and I love her passion for 80’s music. I could hear the songs playing in my head. This book is a total thrill ride from beginning to end. The twists and turns will leave you on edge, peeking over your shoulder. This is a great book with a unique story that I highly recommend.

Class Clown (Ghost Girl Series) by Allan Evans – Review by Jessica Stone

Going into this book I was completely blind to the previous happenings in book 1 of the series “Abnormally Abbey” and to be honest I was terrified that I would have no idea what was going on, that was 100% not what happened. To say I was pleasantly surprised with this book, is an understatement. I immediately fell in love with Abbey this quirky, cute, 80’s loving, albeit “a little old for her age” girl with a wonderful sense of humor.
This book lacks nothing as far as capturing you and dragging you into a story about life, growing up, navigating the hardship of high school and …clowns.

A captivating story of a 14 year old girl, just trying to make friends at a new school and fit in, while juggling an ability to see things that nobody else can, the dead…
Abbey has just transferred to a new school and after a exciting summer spent at camp, Abbey; ready to take on a new school year, joins the soccer team and finally make some friends, hoping for ones she can keep. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always give you what you want, after a trip to the circus with her family Abbey starts seeing clowns all around her new school, what’s even worse now her new friends are starting to disappear.

I could not recommend this book enough, the supernatural twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, while the lighthearted interactions between characters gave me everything I needed from this book. Hoping we see much more from this promising author Allan Evans and our spook magnet Abbey.

Abby isn’t your typical teenager she can see the paranormal which haunt her. Now it’s up to her to find out what’s going on as her classmates keep going missing. If you like clowns this would be right up your alley so to speak. I enjoyed reading this book it was a different change of pace for me. I am not particularly fond of clowns so it was an air on side of caution. Extremely interesting read and a diverse range of characters. It’s story that just keep giving.

What a wild ride! Class Clown takes readers into the life of Abbey. She seems like your normal high school soccer player at first glance. As we travel through her life with her we realize that Abbey has the unique ability to communicate with those that have died. In a new high school, with a new group of friends, Abbey finds herself facing off against an army of dead clowns that have a vengeance. She brings her friends into her chaos to try to calm the storm and create peace again within the walls of high school.

At every turn this book surprised me. Woven together with 80’s music, sarcasm, and whitt this story takes you on an adventure you’re not soon to forget! If you love everything that goes bump in the night I highly suggest this book! It will have you turning the pages so quickly, you won’t even realize that you have finished it. I’m sad this is over but I will be looking for more from this author!

The book Class Clown brings a new meaning to the phrase class clown. I didn’t read what it was about and was thrilled to get a story about the clown apocalypse. Abbey is a fun, snarky teen who is a magnet for ghosts and is in part responsible for the clowns. I really enjoyed this paranormal YA story. I found out it is the second in the series but read easily as a standalone book. I will have to watch if Abbey’s story continues and catch up with what I have missed.
I think this book could be enjoyed by many young teens to adults. The teen angst is relatable, and the paranormal aspects add another layer that adds a lot to the story. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I was pleasently surprised by this book! It was unpredictable, and spooky. Given the synopsis, I expected the plot to be pretty self explanatory and deal with the clown apolcolypse. What I found is that there is more to this book than only that. I found myself totally immersed and really enjoying the spooky atmosphere that this book gives off. I particularly enjoyed the way the light and funny nature of a sarcastic teen went with a spooky clown appocolypse. Abbey is a great MC to follow. She is brave, and easily creates relationships that make the book an enjoyable ride. I love how she lives with this crazy ability, and not only does she make the best of it, she never backs down from helping. I also love the found family aspects of this book. I am definitely looking for more from this author.

Class Clown (Ghost Girl Series) by Allan Evans. This is such a good read. Its the young adult creepy clown read. Abbey went to the circus with her parents and ever since she has the ability to see and talk to dead clowns. All over her high school she sees and talks to clowns all day. Students start disappearing and Abbey knows the clowns have something to do with it. Abbey has just started this new school and hates that this is happening. She is going to do everything she can to figure out what is going on and why these people start disappearing. This read is a fast paced, turning pages late into the night and you will want to make sure you read it with the lights on. Mystery, intrigue, ghosts and young adult problems added to it make for a great read.

This was a new author for me, but I was intrigued by the cover as I love anything horror related, and because of Pennywise I love clowns. I felt this was a perfect fit for me based off that and considering it was the young adult genre that made me grab it. I’m ecstatic with the glee after finishing it. I would say that everyone needs to read this, but I will hold that statement and say everyone except those scared of clowns should read it. While I found it to be a fantastic read, those with clown fears would probably not agree. I found this to be a very entertaining and well written story. I was literally on the edge of my seat turning the pages. Some parts of the storyline gave me goosebumps. I LOVED IT! I highly recommend this book! I look forward to reading more of this authors books.

I love my scares as much as the next person, the one thing that really scares well anything out of me, it is clowns. This book was crafted so well together, I was intrigued and amazed and scarred at certain points all at the same time. I really had a fun ride with this one!

The scares the story brought as well as unforgettable characters were unlike any other. Every turn Abby faced was a to do with clowns, and to save those she loves most she will have to face her greatest fears. I loved how real Abby was. She was generally afraid, that was made known. She had to find courage to beat the evil that was stalking her. She was remarkably written. I really enjoyed reading of her. I loved how the story went about, it was crafted well with suspense. When it ended I think I had the same feelings as Abby did,! I loved the book and the thrill it gave me. Highly recommend.

Wonderful writing and a story that developed from a gifted author. There was no way I could get enough from this book, it was well done and a thrill ride all the way through. Highly recommend this book!

This book was one I didn’t see coming at all! The 14 year old main character is a ghost magnet but clown ghosts! I am not scared of ghosts, or clowns for that matter but even my palms were sweaty a few times while reading this book! It was well written and had an attention grabbing story line that I really appreciated! Reader beware, it might seem like a Childs book but any adult is sure to be spooked! Great job and a first for me from this author but definitely not the last!

Class Clown is part of the Ghost Girl Series and I truly enjoyed reading this YA/Paranormal story. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect going in but once I started I found myself having a hard time putting it down. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what other books they . It started out a bit slow but definitely picked up the pace pretty quickly and the twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This is a story about Abbey, she seems to have some pretty cool super powers. These super powers give her the ability to see ghosts and interact with them. She goes to the circus with her parents and a ghost clown follows her home. Abbey finds herself seeing clowns everywhere she goes and when her friends start disappearing from school she she has a feeling the clowns may be involved. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I definitely can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Well I couldn’t put it down, and when I tried a few hours later I had to finish it. I loved it! Class Clown was definitely a book off the beaten path for me. Not usually my cup of tea. What attracted me though was the “Ghost Whisper” aspect of it.
Abbey has a thing, that thing is she can communicate with ghosts. After joining her family at the circus, Abbey starts seeing ghost clowns. Everyone’s worst nightmare, right? What happens when her friends and fellow soccer players start disappearing? She’s still being stalked by clown ghosts and doesn’t know why. She also feels those same ghosts are behind the disappearances of her friends. But, are they? How can a ghost take someone, they are just an entity after all. Abbey does everything she can to get to the bottom of her friends’ disappearances, while helping a few ghosts along the way.
Does she figure it out?
What do the clown ghosts want?
It’s different but really good, I definitely recommend this book to anyone who comes across it. Be mindful though if you’re afraid of clowns, proceed with caution as this book can very well be a trigger of your fear. Otherwise Enjoy!

Clowns and I on a good day don’t mix. But now I read about a clown apocalypse in this creepy YA tale. Unique, suspense, mystery, and thriller describe what the author has going on in this tale. It is fast paced with an intriguing plot. There was something just out of reach around each corner to make this a story spookier. With drama and angst, ghosts and dead clowns, people missing and teenagers there is something for all to enjoy.
Abbey’s always been a bit different but that different is not something she relishes; no if she had her way, she would rather not have that something and now her world has turned upside down. She is going to need all her strength and determination if she wants to stop this invasion.
I am sure YA’s and those that aren’t afraid of clowns will absolutely love Abbey and her ghostly adventure story.

This was an interesting read! I enjoyed the premise of the story, and the plot, whoever I had a bit of a time getting into it. I’m pretty sure it was just an off reading day, but I had trouble getting into the story and connecting with the characters. I enjoyed it and it was a really interesting story, I just couldn’t get into it. The story was entertaining, and the characters were very interesting. It was unique in a way I haven’t read before, especially with clowns. Very interesting. I would love to read this again one day just to make sure but I really think it was just an off reading day!

Crazy Clowns and ghosts
A fast paced paranormal adventure involving crazy clowns, ghosts and well developed characters. There was action that kept me turning the pages. The build up was lengthy which meant that the ending was a bit rushed but good nonetheless. This would make a wicked movie by the way. If you have a fear of clowns it could get a bit scary but that’s the thrill of the ride.

I really wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, when I started reading it. This book is very well written that has many twists and turns that left me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next. It did have a little bit of a slow start but once it got going it just didn’t stop. This is a YA paranormal book is a cross between supernatural and coming of age which kept it very entertaining. The characters are so well developed, that Abbey who has a power of seeing ghosts. High school drama, secrets, dead clowns, creepiness, intensity, suspense, mysteriousness and dramatic are just a few words that really describe this amazing book. Highly recommend.

I honestly went into this not knowing what to expect. I was drawn to this book because the description seemed very interesting. This is a YA paranormal read and it’s very good. It’s a bit of a slow start, but it gets really good once it gets going. Because of the slower start I was a little confused about the clowns but once everything gets explained, it all makes sense.

Abbey has the ability not only to see, but to interact with ghosts. After visiting the circus with her parents she starts to see clowns everywhere. When her fellow students start turning up missing she has a feeling that the clowns are connected. Will her ability help her to find her missing classmates or will it only make things worse?

I enjoy reading book that have to do with anything paranormal/supernatural. This is only the second book I have read that has dealt with clowns, but it was a good one. I can’t say for sure I’m scared if clowns, but I DEFINITELY wouldn’t want to be seeing dead clowns everywhere I look. I really should have been asleep a whole ago since I have a long day or work ahead of me tomorrow, BUT I couldn’t resist! This book was a page turner and I needed to find out how it ended. I am a first time reader of this author and look forward to reading more of his work.

Can I just start by saying WOW!!! I loved the cross between this coming of age and supernatural novel!!! Abbey has a well developed power of seeing ghosts. One day after a jaunty journey to the circus and back dead clowns start appearing at her high school and people start going missing. This is one of the books that once you pick up you can’t put down so fair warning there. It is a really great story and the characters are so well developed that they really drive the story. Being as this was my first book by this novel I am thrilled to say I have found a new favorite author to add to my list!

Horror and mystery lovers line up! This novel is everything a horror obsessed teen/adult could want. Any reader will fall in love with Abbey from the get-go. Besides being a loving teen, she has a special sense that allows her not only to see the dead, but also to interact with them. The suspense keeps this novel alive from beginning to end. You will not want to put this book down once you start.

From character development to world-building to detail, I am honestly surprised more people have not gotten their hands on this book. I definitely expect to see it on BookTok in the near future!
