Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier 239 pages
This was such a great story. The beauty of a graphic novel is that it is a really fast read, but you still get an emotional impact when it's done right. Cat and Maya are sisters who have had to move because Maya has Cystic Fibrosis and a different environment was recommended. Their new home town is rumored to be a favorite hangout for ghosts and the girls soon discover for themselves how true this is. Maya is such a spirited kid and Cat is so fearful of the world, but anyone would be able to relate to them both. It makes it hard to watch Cat shy away from a world that Maya would happily jump into with both feet if she were able. As a slice of life story with a kind of fantastic twist, this is extremely satisfying. I highly recommend to all ages, especially if you like graphic novels.
