Arwah Di Sekolah (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

Elizabeth Cody Kimmel's novel, Suddenly Supernatural, is set in a school library where the main character, Kat, sees a spirit and must find out what the spirit wants in order to set it free. Kat is not just an ordinary teen. Her mom is a medium ( a person who sees spirits and communicates with them) and ever since Kat turned thirteen, she started seeing spirits two. One day while she was in the library with her new friend, Jac, some strange things kept happening like the same book kept falling out of the bookshelf, so Kat decided to tell Jac that she could se spirits. They finally decide to look at the book and find that it was an old school year book. When they opened it =, they found themselves facing a page about a girl names Suzanne Bennis who died due to a disease. When Kat turned to look at her friend, she found herself looking at a ghost that looked exactly like the girl in the yearbook. Kat later finds out that Jac's music teacher, Miss Wittencourt, was involved in the reason why Suzanne has not left the walls of the school. Suzanne was a very talented musician and Miss Wittencourt pushed Suzanne to go to an audition. That was in a time where a disease was going around and hardly anyone left their house. Suzanne went to the audition, caught the disease, and eventually died. Miss Wittencourt blamed herself for Suzanne's death and thinks that she was the reason a great musician stopped playing. Kat had to find a way to get Miss Wittencourt to hear Suzanne play again so that she would let go of the guilt and Suzanne's spirit would be free. The thing is that Suzanne wouldn't play alone unless there was someone else playing with her so at the school talent show, Kat got Jac to play the cello so that Suzanne would play along which relieved Miss Wittencourt from her guilt and that freed Suzanne's spirit. The author's purpose was to entertain her readers with a nice story. I rated the book with five stars because I really enjoyed reading it. It was like nothing I have read before. It's a really unique story. I think that the cover of the book deserves an A because it's really what the story is about and it goes with story. Once you read the book you will get the cover. Based on believability, I would give it a D because it's usual that you see people talking to spirits and trying to communicate or help spirits. I don't think there was a lesson in this story. I think it is a story to just read and enjoy. If they were to make a movie, I would use Kelly Gould as Jac because she seem like the right person for the role and I can see her play the part. As for Kat I would use someone who can act brave, shy, and talkative. Someone who can easily transition between those traits. Preach or ditch? I say preach because I really enjoyed reading the book. There were a few unexpected plot twists, which I love, and just the way the book was put together was good. The only thing I didn't like was the ending. there was too much extra in the end. Other than that, I loved the book. Judul : Suddenly Supernatural, Arwah Di SekolahPengarang : Elizabeth Cody KimmelPenerjemah : Barokah RuziatiPenyunting : Ida WajdiPenyelaras Aksara : Fenty NadiaPewajah Isi : AnizaISBN : 978-979-024-467-2Penerbit : Atria an imprint of PT Serambi Ilmu Semesta Jln. Kenang Timur Raya No. 16, Jakarta 12730Cetakan 1 : Februari 2011 Buku ini menceritakan anak dari seorang medium,Kat –tokoh utama novel ini- mempunyai ibu yang seorang medium, itu loh, yang bisa menghubungkan para arwah dari dunia sana dengan dunia sini atau juga yang bisa manggil arwah dan tentu saja melihatnya. Sebagian orang berpendapat mungkin kedengarannya keren, tapi TIDAK buat Kat. Bayangkan saja, disaat Kat -yang bisa dianggap kurang populer di sekolah, tapi sangat pintar- tiba-tiba kedatangan Shoshanna, yang merupakan makhluk paling populer di sekolah buat. Saat mereka sedang mengerjakan tugas, awalnya memang berjalan dengan lancar dan bahkan Kat dapat ngobrol tentang masalah yang populer dan natural dengan orang yang populer dan normal, Shoshanna malah merasakan hal-hal yang kurang populer dan supernatural di rumah Kat! Hawa dingin yang mencekam, suara teriakan yang memecahkan gendang telinga dan hal-hal mistis lainnya. Tentu saja Shoshanna malah jadi ketakutan dan Kat tidak bisa lagi menyembunyikan hal yang SEHARUSNYA dapat disembunyikan itu. Bahkan yang lebih gawatnya, Shoshanna berniat untuk menyebarkannya di sekolah dan membuat Kat menjadi makhluk “supernatural” di sekolahnya! Kat merasa sangat terancam dan ingin menyalahkan Ibunya, tapi Kat gak bisa karena Ibunya yang super pengertian dengan Kat. Akhirnya Kat hanya dapat pasrah dan berdoa semoga Shoshanna tidak menyebarkan ‘rumah berhantunya’ di sekolah. Untungnya Shoshanna tidak masuk selama satu minggu; denger-denger neneknya meninggal dan tentu saja memberi angin segar buat Kat. Disaat masa-masa damai Kat, ternyata ada murid baru yang bernama Jac. Sebagai seorang yang pernah merasakan menjadi murid baru selama enam bulan dan menjadi salah satu bagian dari kumpulan orang yang kurang populer, maka dimulailah pertemanan Kat dan Jac. Sebagai seorang teman mau tidak mau kita pasti harus berbagi cerita dan hal itu membuat Kat sangat takut. Bagaimana nanti reaksi Jack kalau dia tahu ibunya seorang medium. Kat takut kalau Jac menjauhinya, takut kalau Jac tidak mau lagi berteman dengannya, takut kalau Jac malah memusuhinya. Padahal Kat sudah nyaman berteman dengan Jac. Hal ini diperparah ketika ulang tahun Kat yang ke-tigabelas. Ketika pertama kalinya Kat menyadari bahwa dia tidak hanya mempunyai ibu yang seorang medium, tapi dia juga mewarisi bakat ibunya, karena Kat dapat melihat arwah-arwah itu juga. Saat itu juga Kat ingin menyalahkan ibunya, tapi mungkin saja malah ibunya merasa senang dan untuk sementara Kat harus menyembunyikan bakatnya itu dulu dari ibunya. wajar saja di saat orang-orang bangga dengan bakat mereka di bidang akademik, olahraga atau musik seperti Jac, Kat malah mendapatkan bakat di bidang supernatural-yang jelas-jelas Kat tidak menginginkannya. Kat yang sudah sangat akrab dengan Jac dan saling berbagi cerita (minus cerita supernatural), Kat mengalami kejadian supernaturalnya di perpustakaan bersama Jac. Mula-mula hawa dingin yang mencekam, album kenangan yang walaupun sudah diletakkan kembali ke rak tapi jatuh lagi dan parahnya Kat melihat arwah perempuan yang fotonya ada di album kenangan sekolah yang berulang kali jatuh tadi! Wajar saja Jac jadi penasaran kenapa peristiwa-peristiwa ganjil itu bisa terjadi di sana? Mau nggak mau Kat harus menceritakannya semuanya- mulai dari ibu nya yang seorang medium hinggga Kat yang mewarisi bakat ibu nya. Yang ditunggu jelas reaksi Jac, apakah Jac malah mendukung dan masih mau berteman dengannya atau malah Jac berbalik memusuhi dan takut dengan Kat. Masalahnya, arwah yang menampakkan wujudnya tadi itu, ada hubungan erat dengan Jac: mereka sama-sama seorang musisi yang berbakat. Tentu saja, dengan sangat berat hati Kat harus membantu sahabat yang sudah sangat dekat dengan dia itu.
