Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol
4.0
A heartwarming tale about an entitled teenager with body image and self-esteem issues who meets a ghost who eventually teaches her how to act like a responsible and critically-minded person.
I enjoyed this story and it was an excellent brief and prosaic graphic novel with a style reminiscent of Persepolis Marjane Satrapi. This is an excellent book for international students trying to fit into another culture, or anywhere. There was a positive message with this book but it wasn't laid on too heavily.
The plot was interesting and surprisingly not obvious, with a clever twist. After reading many stories and being able to guess the ending in the first one or two pages, this story was able to tell something different without it being too weirdly awkward. Well done!
