Geomancers Compass.

The Geomancer's Compass by Melissa Hardy  is about a girl named Miranda Liu. You follow her through the first person view as she encounters the daemon ghost of her relative who was murdered by Canadians because he was in a relation ship with her. Miranda and her cousin with A.D.H.D. and Dyslexia have to go and dig up his bones with the help of their great,great grandfather or The Grandfather. They can only meet The Grandfather while wearing I-Spex.  This is probably the only book that in which you absolutely despise the main character. Hardy just made Miranda heartless and inconsiderate.

As you probably didn't guess this takes place in the future, I enjoy that but as you read the book it seems as though it's just like real life today, so I really don't count it as Sci-fi in fact it's pretty much only fantasy. This makes it seem even worse for her character. A great example of this is when Miranda just denies that any of her own culture can be even somewhat true in front of her dying mothers face. Her text and thoughts prove this.

Another thing that makes her completely heartless is that constantly talking about all of the way her cousin is bad. She constantly rambles on and on about how Brian can't read or pay attention. She also continues to talk on and on about how Brian talks to dirty, dirty homeless people and why he keeps bringing up conversations with them. It just makes you so angry, so very angry!!

Near the end she starts to get better understanding her cousin. It doesn't mean she gets any better though, Her text is still SO annoying. She happens to be continually getting dumber and dumber as the book goes on and this makes me happy seeing my favorite character getting the spotlight, that being Brian, this makes me happy.

In conclusion I actually didn't write about the book but about the main character, meaning that I have to write about it Sunday, or some other day. Any way Miranda couldn't be more of a _____ even if she was hilarious (which she isn't) and she is heartless and inconsiderate,  which makes me happy because the ending is worth going through Miranda.
