Una historia middle grade sobre crecer y madurar con mucha más profundidad de la que me esperaba. La metáfora de los fantasmas encaja muy bien con los problemas de nuestra protagonista que lidia con un proceso habitual en la vida real pero no muy explotado en la literatura infantil, qué hacer cuando tus amigos maduran/crecen más rápido que tú. Los dibujos son preciosos y tienen un toque de mundo fantástico infantil que encaja muy bien con la historia. En resumen, una historia emotiva, profunda y con un gran mensaje.

Although it’s a middle-grade graphic novel, it handles complex emotions and explores themes of grief and loss with so much grace. Yee’s artwork is both whimsical, vibrant, and expressive, capturing the depth of feeling in a brilliant swirl of colour. The illustrations were so beautiful.
This book wraps you in a warm hug after hurt feelings and doesn’t let go.

Didn’t expect a children’s book to make me cry

Summary really does not capture this book. Rei’s imagery is amazing as always. Loved the little critters scattered around the pages. The summary implies that growing up is bad but I like the way it shows that’s it’s both and just part of life
Super cute story about growing up, perfect for spooky season. Loved the artwork so much.
