    Susannah Simon has just moved across the country to live with her mother, her new stepdad, and her three stepbrothers. She loves the town of Carmel and the Pacific Ocean, but she has MAJOR problems with the house. Particularly as there is a very hot ghost sharing her new bedroom with her.Suze is a mediator. She sees ghosts and tries to help them move on to the next life by helping them complete a task. Sometimes, however, she is forced to resort to violence. And violence and force will turn out to be everything as she deals with her most vicious ghost yet at her new school: Heather, who committed suicide when her boyfriend broke up with her.Heather is determined to do anything to regain her old life, and she thinks Suze is taking over her rightful place at school. Heather’s increasingly violent nature forces Suze to reluctantly make plans for an exorcism, something that she never likes to do, and something that she hopes Jesse will stay away from, no matter how much he doesn’t want her to do it.Meg Cabot’s excellent MEDIATOR series has a catchy start in this first book. Suze is a character, and Jesse the quintessential “perfect man.” Suze’s interesting interactions with the people in her life will amuse readers for the whole entire series. I highly recommend these books.

    The meadiator was a very good book about this girl who is a mediator. she can talk to the dead ghosts that have to fulfill their purposes to get them to the "other side". The reader will be able to relate to the character as she deals with love and crushes and the harshness of high school as she deals with getting the ghost of a former student to pass on before she kills her ex boyfriend and half the school.

    Young Adult book, very interesting story line. Had to read all of the books one after another. Young girl that has the ability to see ghosts. She actually shares her room with one. This story follows this relationship along a rollercoaster of emotions and problems. Only to find that love with prevail.

    Have you ever watched the show GHOST WHISPERER, with Jennifer Love Hewitt? It's basically the same idea. A girl who can talk to ghosts and help these souls go into the light. Difference is... in the story, Suze can not only see and talk to them, but touch and kick their butts. It does put an interesting twist on the whole mediator thing.What to say.... the first book in the series isn't like an "OMG... you HAVE to read this." but... it's a "not bad... if you're a fan of Meg Cabot, Ghost Whisperer, butt-kicking heroines, paranormal then read this." As for me, I will be getting the rest of the series because I am.. a fan of Meg Cabot, .. etc. haha.

    Pretty good start to this series. Susannah is a Mediator...someone who mediates between the dead and where they need to go, or move on. It's got some romance, adventure, fighting, and supernatural.

    Susannah Simon, better known as Suze, has moved from New York to California to join her mom and her new step family. She has an extraordinary gift - she sees ghosts and talks with them. Suze is really a mediator, a person who helps ghosts get to the other side. As she settles into her new home and school, she is confronted by two very troublesome ghosts; Jesse who is a long "dead" cowboy and Heather who recently committed suicide after her boyfriend, Bryce, broke up with her. Jesse is more of an irritation but Heather is down right dangerous, especially since Bryce takes an interest in Suze. Suze has help with her ghostly pursuits from her school principal, Fr. Dominic, who is also a mediator. The key to this book is the breezy first-person narration.

    Suze is a mediator—a liaison between the living and the dead. In other words, she sees dead people. And they won't leave her alone until she helps them resolve their unfinished business with the living. But Jesse, the hot ghost haunting her bedroom, doesn't seem to need her help. Which is a relief, because Suze has just moved to sunny California and plans to start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery, and surfing instead of spectral visitations. But the very first day at her new school, Suze realizes it's not that easy. There's a ghost with revenge on her mind ... and Suze happens to be in the way.I love Meg Cabot's books, my friends HIGHLY recommended this series to me along with her 1800 series. Anyways i can easily compare Suze to Rose Hathaway from Vampire Academy series. Only because of they are both smart asses and they kick asses or something like that.Suze is my second favorite heroine of all time.I love this book because it has just the right amount of action and love in it that it gets to be very addictive. It's Fun and light, this book has a heroine who is strong and doesn't mind kicking some ghost butt once in a while in her job as a mediator. She can see ghosts and her job is to help them resolve the issue that is keeping them on Earth and making them not want to move on.There's mystery and action, there's a budding romance between her and a ghost that haunts her bedroom, Jesse, the challenge of living in a new town with new stepbrothers (3 of them!) and a new stepfather. I would really hate that job ~the mediator~, after i watched the sixth sense, i was like i never want to see a ghost. I mean that's a hard job and she doesn't get paid for it. i get her props!

    Suze Simon is a liaison between the living and the dead. She can speak to, touch, even kiss, ghosts. She's just moved to California to live with her mom, new stepdad, and annoying stepbrothers. Her new room comes with a ghost already occupying it, and her school has a girl ghost who is out for revenge. Amazing first book of a great series by the marvelous Meg Cabot.

    Now, I haven't enjoyed paranormal elements ina while. I was over the whole trite thing with the werewolves and the ghost stories and the angsty, angsty vampires. This book is different. For one, it's fun. For another, the fast pacing doesn't leave you breathless. Seriously. Read it. It's light and sweet and cute, and simply fun. Like a new icecream flavour.

    When I decided to read Shadowland (first book of a series) I was expecting a good book because I had read some of Meg Cabot's other books and I liked them. But when I started reading Shadowland, I could not put it down. It was SO good. I quickly went onto the next book in the series. I think I read the whole Mediator series in one week. It was that good. I recommend this book to everyone.

    This was okay, but I wasn't incredibly impressed. I thought it started off pretty good and I thought I would really enjoy it but I got pretty bored of it after a while. Susannah was tolerable at the start but I honestly didn't like her that much as the story went on. She just irritated me and I didn't find her very likable. I liked the premise of the book and I think it showed a lot of promise but to me, the plot just seemed a bit all over the place and jumbled. I also really disliked the fact that Susannah referred to her stepbrothers by both their names and her 'private nicknames' she had for them. It was just confusing, especially since we didn't know the stepbrothers all that well. It was a light and entertaining read though and I am still interested in reading more books in this series.

    I really enjoyed this book. So much so that I'm going to add the rest of the series to my wishlist too. :) It was a quick, cute read... Meg obviously writing in the teen and young adult genre since she writes the Princess Diary books too. (I've never read the books though I like the 2 movies I saw.)I was glad to see Meg's self esteem pick up a bit later in the book, since in the beginning she always seemed to think herself not worthy of having many friends. However, I believe a person's worth to others is only as strong as that which they see in themselves, so a negative self impression is more hurtful to a girl's popularity than anything else.This book also made me realize that the books I like best always have a strong female (or male) lead; I found myself not liking Suze that much at the beginning of the book, but began to admire her more as she became more sure of herself.

    The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot is about a girl that can see ghosts. This becomes a little tricky when she moves from New York to California only to find a gorgeous ghost is already living in her bedroom. Not only does Suze have to deal with Jesse there is another ghost trying to kill people at her school. I loved these books, Suze was so down to earth and Jesse was so crushable.

    Ah Meg Cabot, like sweet crack to me you are. What's to say, heavy on appeal and light on critical reflection. I would never say brainless but for sure a good, harmless, time.

    This is an enjoyable, fast read. It is book one of a series, and I'm certain that middle school girls will like it. Small profanity warning - the b.... word is used when the female ghost becomes highly antagonized by Susannah Simon, the main character. Suze moves in with her mother, who has remarried Andy Ackerman. Suze's father is dead, but since she can see ghosts, he often visits her, although he doesn't appear in book one. In this book, a girl who has committed suicide is not willing to move on, and when Suze suggests that she needs to do that, the girl, Heather, goes beserk, and almost kills Suze. Meanwhle, Suze gets to know Jesse, the resident, very attractive male ghost who lives in her bedroom.

    Suze has just arrived in California from NYC. When she walks into her new room, she sees a handsome ghost sitting by the window. This is nothing new for her, she is a mediator who can see the dead and often needs to convince them to move on and leave this world. She often gets physical with the ghosts if she has too. Things get especially rough with Heather, a girl who committed suicide and has a grudge against her ex-boyfriend. This was a quick read and left me wanting to continue to read the rest of the books in the series.

    Susannah Simon has a unique calling in life. She's a mediator, a person who can see and talk to ghosts and help them leave earth for wherever they're supposed to go. When Suze moves from New York to San Francisco to live with her mom's new husband and her new stepbrothers, she finds a couple of interesting things. First, there's the hottie of a ghost who lives in her bedroom. Secondly, there's Father Dominic, the principal of her new school who also happens to be a mediator. Third, she's somehow cool in California. When Suze saves the life of one of the popular guys from the vengeful ghost of his ex-girlfriend, Suze is suddenly invited to parties and nominated for sophomore class vice president. That's all good and nice, but before she can enjoy any of her newfound perks, Suze has to figure out a way to convince this furious ex-cheerleader ghost to leave this plane... and it's not going to be easy...The Mediator series was recommended to me by one of my coworkers and I did really like it. It features a kick-ass heroine and an intriguing potential romance. It struck me as being very similar to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I don't know what happens in the rest of the series, but at least in the first book there's no sex, although there is some violence. Perhaps it gets racier on down the line, but I'd say the first book is middle-school-appropriate.

I often enjoy Meg Cabot's books, and this one was no disappointment. It wasn't one of those deep books though. It's one of those books that you read for fun. Meg Cabot did a decent job at creating the plot and the characters. There wasn't really anything that stood out. I only just got around to reading this book, and it wasn't memorable. I enjoyed it and it was a quick read which was nice. When I was reading it I did get into the story, but once it ended I kinda forgot about it. It's one of those books that are pretty good, and that you like, but doesn't really stick with you. Overall pretty good.Rating: BNotable Quotes:"I'm sorry, Heather, but everything was not just fine before I got here. You know how I know that? Because you're dead. Okay? You are dead. Dead people don't have lockers, or best friends, or boyfriends. You know why? Because they're dead.-Suze Simon" "They just kept grinning at me from over the stupid sign, Dopey becausehe's too dumb to know any better, Doc because – well, I guess because he might have been glad to seeme. Doc's weird that way. Sleepy, the oldest, just stood there, looking … well, sleepy."

    After moving from New York to California with her newly married mother, 16-year-old Susannah has to cope not only with her new stepbrothers, but also with the handsome ghost sitting in her new bedroom and the angry girl ghost haunting her new school. This is book #1 of the Mediator series. It is typical Meg Cabot, full of humor and very realistic teenage behavior and dialog. Even though the heroine is a medium, it doesn't change the fact that she is a "normal" teenage girl with the same problems all teenage girls have with friends, romance, and family. Readers will be anxious to read the next book in the series.

    engaging romp of a book. Basically Buffy as a medium.This is the first book in the series, Suze moves to California from New York and finds herself facing up to a ghost who is still furious about her death, furious enough to be murderous. She finds a mentor in her headmaster, who has a different style of mediation with the dead.

    This is the first book in a great series. I found these books and almost didn't read them because I erroneously thought that the author of the Princess Diaries (having not even read those books, my bad) would only write fluff, boy was I wrong. This series has become one of my favorites. I love the first scene with Jesse because, as a ghost, he hasn't been seen or spoken to in over 100 years and when Suze talks to him, his reaction is so well described its like you're watching it happen. I'm giving it 4 1/2 stars because the books just kept getting better and I had to leave room for improvement.
