This was so cute. I loved the duel story and worlds. The more serious topics discussed was done very well. The art is GORGEOUS!! Some of the scenes are phone wallpaper worthy.

I needed a break from my usual adult fiction book problems and decided to read a graphic novel  aimed to a younger audience. First of all I liked the illustration style, the ghosts are cute and I loved the overall tone of the comic. 
This novel touches on grief and loneliness in an easy and enjoyable way. Will definitely keep an eye out for more in this series.

I do not really understand why so many people were reading this at some moment, it was just really not interesting. There are two stories that are being told in parallel, but none of them is actually good. There is absent parent, dead parent, bullying, weird PE teacher, weird guy who keeps wanting to have to building and much more. None of it good nor really developed. Also, there was the whole line about a boy having long hair and being mistaken for a girl, so he should cut it. This book did nothing good for me, best of luck.

Cute & sweet 👻💕 
Currently in my graphic novel era and I’m not slowing down! This is a quick and wholesome read, the art is stunning but the story is just a bit one dimensional. Wish we would’ve dove a little deeper but I think the target audience is likely middle grade / YA

The colour palette is so nice and some of the frames are just gorgeous. 
Despite the theme of weathered resilience and well, ghosts, the story is cute and there are some heartwarming moments.
