This is a sweet little graphic novel that tells you two stories, one of little Greg exploring the Unknown, and one of Anna looking for her missing father.
I knew that Over the Garden Wall was a very successful cartoon show, but I haven’t had the opportunity to watch it, so I picked up this book hoping to read its story. I should have read the description because the graphic novels pick up where the series left off! I still enjoyed reading it, but I’m sure I missed a lot. So, I’ll pick this series up after I’ve had a chance to watch the show.
I have to note the artwork is gorgeous, whether we’re following Greg’s happy story or Anna’s darker one. It’s worth a look for the artwork alone.

I like the first story a lot of Greg's adventures, but then the second story of the woodsman's daughter was only ok.

Nicely drawn, but neither of these stories felt like they added much to the OtGW canon, and the second one downright dragged.

Second half was much better than the first, but both were still kinda mid.

It’s a temporary dnf. I just don’t have access to the graphic novel right now
