A haunting and hopeful Middle Grade graphic novel about a girl, ghosts, and grief. For fans of Sheets, Small Spaces, and Ghosts. WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOOHOOD! Eight-year-old Ona has lost just about everything: her home, her possessions, her mother, and almost her life. When she and her father move into her Baba's apartment complex after these traumatic events, they had hoped for a clean start. But a mysterious specter follows her, and Ona befriends the ghost she discovers haunting the boiler room. When her new friendship starts allowing her to see other ghosts--the ghosts who haunt the other residents of her building--she decides to use her ability to help her new neighbors face their troubles and free themselves from their specters. In doing so, however, Ona must eventually come face to face with a much darker foe--her own trauma and grief. The earnestness of Judy Bloom meets the raw emotion of I Kill Giants in this beautifully hopeful story of childhood tragedy. An original graphic novel for Middle Grade readers about grief, loss, and the ghosts that haunt us all. For fans of Brenna Thummler's Sheets and Delicates.
This is a Magical Realism Children's Graphic Novel. I found parts of this book a little weird, but once the book got going I got into the story. I really enjoyed the story once I got into it. The pictures were so cute, and I loved them. I think this is a cute Children's Graphic Novel that covers the loss of a loved one. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
