A Gracious Plenty

Everyone I have ever met says don't judge a book by its cover. For some unexplained reason I always do. After looking at the cover and reading the back of A Gracious Plenty the first thing I could think of was "am I going to be reading the book version of The Sixth Sense?". Hopefully my judgements were wrong and the book will turn out to be interesting, and just maybe i'll enjoy reading for a change. After all, how could a book about a little burned girl talking to dead people not be an instant classic?
