An absolutely lovely, comforting, beautiful, emotional end to a fantastic series. Despite all the sadness and loneliness, this book is really just a warm hug of friendship. The art is gorgeous as always — that scene of Marjorie and her dad by the Christmas tree might be one of the prettiest things of all time — and the characters are so lovable and well-rounded. Wendell is my little cinnamon roll of a ghost boy, and I'm SO HAPPY he's a dancer just like me :) I'm sad to see this story end, but I'm so happy I spent so much time with Marjorie, Eliza, and WENDELL!

 “It’s much harder to create light than it is to extinguish it.” 

Such a fitting end!
