Anya’s Ghost

(This post has a book giveaway ending Nov. 2, 2011)

Written and Illustrated by Vera Brosgol

Anya’s Ghost is a great graphic novel about a young girl from Russia. After falling in a well, she has a ghost attached to her that, at first, helps her with school and her social life. But the ghost has lied to Anya about her dying circumstances and becomes a threat to Anya and her family. I loved this story; however, the casual cigarette smoking at school, a couple of bad words and the drinking party, will keep me from giving this book a favorable review for anyone younger than 17.
