I loved the artwork in this book! The ghosts are fun and I enjoyed the integration of the ghosts however I felt the plot line was weak and it felt like not a lot really happened in this book. I think delicate is much better read of the two books

I had high expectations for this but I found it a bit disappointing. The plot felt a little thin and I never felt invested. The villain felt comical and unconvincing but the other themes of death and grief felt very heavy. However I loved the colouring and some of the illustrations were beautiful, particularly the backgrounds. It was worth reading for the art but I don't think I'll be picking up the next ones.

Insanely adorable graphic novel about grief, laundry and finding a home.

A very sweet coming-of-age story. The art and colours are stunning. There was just a disconnect for me between some of the very heavy themes, the pacing, and the comical villain. Overall I would love for this to have been longer for more in-depth relationship-building, and for the heavier themes to have been addressed more deeply. I think youth are more likely to enjoy the pacing and plot payoffs. Otherwise, it is a sweet read for an afternoon, and despite my less-than-stellar review, I am curious enough to read the next installment.

A middle grade book about laundry and ghosts, but I'm not a middle schooler so it's another meh for me. No tater rating because it's not FOR ME!
