Day of the Living Liv by Liv Livingston
4.0
This was cute!
Spirited: Day of the Living Liv is the first in a spooky graphic novel series that focuses on Liv’s experience moving to a new town that’s haunted by ghosts. When she attends her new school she has trouble fitting in since she’s the only living student. Fortunately, she makes new friends and is eventually able to adjust. I like that this was a glimpse into the middle school experience with a spooky twist. The artwork was charming and really paired well with the story. I wish that the author would have explored the back story of the family more. Readers don’t really understand why they moved. There also seems to be some “rivalry” between the two towns that’s unexplained as well as her parents completely ignoring all the paranormal activity going on around them. Granted, I’m an adult reading this and I definitely think a kid would be able to spend their disbelief better than me. I still thought it was an enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to checking out the next volumes.
