A fun middle-grade graphic, chock full of ghosty delight with a mild spook factor for the littlies.

The art style and language make this graphic an easy read for younger readers, and a fun quick read for the adults. It is cartoonish and bright, while still lending a little bit of spook and grossness to our scarier characters. A great blend of juvenile horror and comedy.

The story itself is very engaging, with a crisscrossing of character timelines that is interesting but easy to follow. Inspired by Chinese mythology and Studio Ghibli, there is a thoughtful whimsy in the paranormal elements throughout the story. The plot is also grounded in a very gentle exploration of grief and friendship, making this overall a fantastic choice for readers both young and old.

Perfect for readers who loved Ghosts, Things in the Basement, or Lightfall: The Girl & the Galdurian.
