This was not entirely surprising, because not very many new readers were discovering the book, but it was also saddening, because there were so many new readers who now couldn&#8217;t discover the book. <\/p>\n<p><i>Ghost<\/i> had a bit of an awkward time of it from the start. While it got great feedback from fellow authors (Justine Larbalestier called it &#8220;a beautiful and moving debut&#8221;) and <a href=\"http:\/\/megancrewe.com\/gutg\/\">industry reviewers<\/a>, it was also a paranormal YA novel that had no romance coming out on the heels of the <i>Twilight<\/i> series, and a ghost story that&#8217;s more about the emotional concerns of the living than supernatural hauntings. But I&#8217;m still very fond of it, and there are many readers who&#8217;ve connected with it, which makes me hope it&#8217;ll find more. So when I got the opportunity to re-release <i>Ghost<\/i> myself, I jumped on it.<\/p>\n<p>And as part of that re-release, I have given the book a makeover.*  \ud83d\ude42  Check out the new cover (recently revealed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yabookscentral.com\/blog\/it-s-live-cover-reveal-give-up-the-ghost-by-megan-crewe-giveaway-international\">YABooksCentral, where you can go to enter to win a paperback copy<\/a>):<\/p>\n<p><center><img src=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blogpics\/ghostnewcover.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Do you like the new look?
