I love a good paranatural ghost busting story. The art style is literally my favorite combo, simplistic yet detailed in expressions and backgrounds. It felt so warm and cozy, I found myself taking a minute to admire so many pages. Especially the nature panels, I was so shocked at the detail, it really looked like a painting at times. As for the plot itself, the pacing was already well done even though I kept getting frustrated that she wasn't telling her dad she could see ghosts. Like I get why but I was still frustrated on her behalf whenever she got in trouble lol. Also the details with the character design before figuring out
Oliver's ancestry, he really did look so much like his aunt, I usually never can tell in comics but the artist did a great job 
 

Another element I liked was yhe library research scene, it was actually so fun, I've really been loving stories that include archival research. Overall great comic, will definitely look into the writers and illustrator!

Chelsea Grant doesn't want to be seen with her dad- the town's ghost hunter. When she gets in trouble her parents decide she needs to learn some responsibility and help out her dad's business for the summer. Her embarrassment turns to intrigue when she realizes she can see the ghosts in the New Orleans manor that no one else can. Instead of "removing" the ghosts with her dad's contraption what they really need is to be put to rest.

Can Chelsea settle the historical mystery before more harm comes to those in the house? Or her? This is a fun graphic novel adventure perfect for middle grades.

this was such a fun, spooky story!
i loved watching Chelsea come into her own/accept herself with her family's ghost hunting business and watching her start to stick up for herself to her friends. 
she handles the fact that she can see ghosts so well???? i'd die.
the aspects of mistreating people of color and slavery also, unfortunately, felt appropriately timed, but were handled fabulously. 
definitely recommend this one!!

The art was great in this, and I was surprised to see it was the artists first graphic novel-the art was pretty seamless for this genre and very expressive while always being pretty. The fashion on character designs was spot on, too. 
Characters were lovable, but overall plot was a little less impactful than I was hoping? I have no complaints, I just wanted it to hit me deeper. It's a cute story with some good tie-ins to history, though most of it feels pretty surface-level. It's a fun read and the protagonists relationship with her parents and friends is nice.
