Class Clown (Ghost Girl Series) by Allan Evans – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
Class Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Class Clown is a gripping YA horror story. Abbey has a history of paranormal experiences and starting a new high school hasn’t changed this. She’s doing her best to settle in and make friends, which would be much easier to do if inexplicable things didn’t keep happening to her and her new friends.
If you’re into clown-related horror, this is the book for you! There are clowns everywhere. At the circus, of course, but also in the school corridors, the mirrors, people’s selfies, the middle of the road… SO many clowns. If you’re scared of clowns, this isn’t the book for you (unless you enjoy being scared in which case it’s perfect for you!).
Abbey is a fun character, I like her inquisitive nature and obsession with 80s music! As well as being a ghost-magnet, she’s good at connecting with other people and builds a circle of friends, mainly from her soccer team, who join her in her attempts to save the school from the clown invasion.
Abbey’s story begins in another book, Abnormally Abbey. Class Clown makes sense on its own, and you get plenty of background information as we go along, but if you intend to read Abnormally Abbey I would recommend starting there to avoid spoilers.
This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of high school paranormal stories, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
