Lovely book that merges the past with the present.  It's like Black Ghost Busters.

This graphic novel has everything! Family, friends, trying to fit in, adventure, crushes. The message in the story was so good too, I definitely want to pick up more from this author!

Thank you to Harper360 for providing me with an ARC of Ghost Roast.

I enjoyed this. My physical copy started off in colour but part way through, was black and white. I assume this was to save money with it being an ARC. Which is absolutely fine. The initial colour illustrations are absolutely beautiful, lush colour palette and gorgeous illustrations. I'm excited to see what a finished copy looks like.

I enjoyed the story and plot for this one, it was really enjoyable. One thing I will say though, I don't know if this is because my copy was an ARC, but on occasion I was thrown out of the story due to the speech bubbles not lining up with the right characters. I was repeatedly confused because of this. So again, I'd be intrigued to see if this is something that has been fixed in the finished copy.

But otherwise, I did enjoy the story and the illustrations.

First graphic novel of the year and it was adorable. Even though it was more YA than J(uvenile), I encouraged my 9yo to read it after I was done and she devoured it in a few hours (maybe less). I really enjoyed the art style and, while the story felt simple (ish), I still think it was very strong and hit some good beats. I'll definitely be looking for more from these authors (both for me and my kid) as well as similar stories in the same format.
