Anya's Ghost

By Vera Brosgol

Book Overview

Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn't kidding about the "forever" part . . . Of all the things Anya expected to find at the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them. Especially not a new friend who's been dead for a century. Falling down a well is bad enough, but Anya's normal life might actually be worse. She's embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her body, and she's pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new friend--even a ghost--is just what she needs. Or so she thinks. Spooky, sardonic, and secretly sincere, Anya's Ghost is a wonderfully entertaining debut graphic novel from author/artist Vera Brosgol. This title has Common Core connections.

Customer Reviews

Not worth buying.

Not worth buying. I’m an avid book reader and not only love a great book but love to buy books for gifts. This was to be a gift but the content was full of foul language and bad attitudes/behaviors. Not worth the money or time spent reading.
