Melissa & Kasho is Camilla Chance's foray into young adult literature.  Although set in 1959, the story resonates as it delves into serious matters such as sexual assault, attempted suicide, bullying, and a young girl's development into womanhood.  Set in 1959, the book delves into fantasy and the paranormal with the character of Kasho. He is the spirit of an Indigenous man who lives light-years away, but who has traveled to Florence in ghostly form to aid Melissa in her spiritual, social, and emotional transition into a free and independent woman.  The underlying message of the book is "there is always a way of making your life better."
