Ghost Book

Written and Illustrated by Remy Lai

Ghost Book is a not-so-scary graphic novel of a young girl who seems to go unnoticed by everyone. Even in school her classmates of four years have no idea who she is. Then one day she runs into a ghost of a young boy that actually remembers her, but she doesn’t want to admit that she can see ghosts. The young boy wants her to get a message to his mother, that he is not dead but just a wondering spirit. They go on a quest and discover so many things along the way that answer both their questions. But will everything they want be able to happen for both of them?

It has some sad moments as well as funny moments that the kids would enjoy. I think that even younger kids would enjoy this book if they want something a little on the spooky side.
