![]() ![]() It’s in his effort to help Stella retrieve her memory and cross into the light that the real adventure begins. That touches his hardened heart, and, more likely, he realizes his only shot at ever having a girlfriend is if he pursues a dead one. ![]() ![]() The poor girl doesn’t realize she’s dead, remember anything further back than a few days, or know her actual name-she gets Stella from the label sewn into her pants. He actually puts his headphones in his ears so they don’t bother him.īut then he meets Stella McCartney, a teenage ghost-girl, hanging out in the cemetery behind his house. Night Shyamalan-y, but unlike cute and terrified “I-see-dead-people” Cole, Marvin is not only unafraid of ghosts, but he is just downright mean to them. Marvin disparages his ability and chooses to ignore every spirit who needs him to help them take care of unfinished business. Marvin has the psychic ability to see ghosts, a gift (or… curse rather) he inherits from his deceased father whose amicable specter is the very first the reader is introduced to. Seventeen-year old Marvin resents his stepfather, struggles to communicate with his mother, cannot hold a coherent conversation with a female, and is indefatigably determined to do exactly the opposite of his father. This story is about a pretty typical teenage boy. ![]()
