In “The Afterlife of Holly Chase,” best-selling author Cynthia Hand presents a contemporary YA twist on “A Christmas Carol,” where a self-centered teen is visited by three Ghosts on Christmas Eve. Now stuck as the top-secret company Project Scrooge’s Ghost of Christmas Past, Holly’s afterlife takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a different kind of Scrooge who might just change everything. With wit and insight, this novel explores second chances and the power of love, making it a must-read for fans of “Before I Fall” or “Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares.”
