Living in a fantastical world of magic and spookiness, Beetle is just a young goblin trying to navigate life. She's learning magic from her grandmother, trying to help her best friend (Blog Ghost), rekindling a friendship with an apprentice witch (Kat), and going on adventures to fight evil.

As a reader, it felt like I was missing out on a lot of information that was important to the plot. The story really needed to be streamlined. The artwork was amazing...although there were some spreads that were difficult to navigate. Overall, the messages and were great, but the execution was lacking.

Holy crap!!! I was in the mood for a graphic novel so I loaned it from work and I’m so glad I did. It was absolutely adorable! Loved the plot, the characters, the art and basically the whole vibe. Great graphic novel and perfect for spooky season :) Highly recommend if you want something witchy and cute!!

A cute read, though I wish there would have been more development of the Hollowbones instead of them just being kind of stock characters.
