Utterly delightful and unbelievably heartwrenching. This is a very relatable story about growing up… as well as a very painful story about never being able to grow up.
I especially liked being introduced to Diana, and how she was the only adult who was able to see and interact with Alexa. It made my heart hurt in a good way.

I absolutely loved this beautifully illustrated exploration of self-expression, growing up, imagination, death, grief, and moving forward. Every page has something fun or imaginative to discover, and the characters are a lot of fun. I didn't anticipate this exploring loss and grief, and it was handled really well. I didn't pick this as a Halloween read, but it was fun to read now since it includes Halloween.
