This is a short graphic novel that really packs a punch. It is about the unlikely friendship between an owl and a ghost. After seeing a ghost wandering in the woods, an owl decides to befriend her. The ghost is lost and confused so the owl tries to help her remember. Things progress from here.
The plot is simple but what completely blew me away was the beautiful artwork. The blue-green undertones give an ethereal and eerie beauty to the pages which help bring the story to life.
I will say that there are some dark, creepy bits that may not be suitable for some younger readers.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Well the title say it all. There is a ghost and a owl. Simple. The strengh of that comic is its illustrations. They are magnificient. Truly wonderful. The psychadelic style is just really well done and amazing to see. The story is also very good, kind of messy until the end get it all clear, but still fun to read, and a good sentimental touch at the end. Good and very original!

A short graphic novel about a ghost and an owl who come together to help someone important to them. I enjoyed the story, though did feel like some details could have been embellished some more. But the illustrations... oh my goodness! The illustrations were beyond stunning in this graphic novel. I found myself reading the page then just stopping and taking in all the small details and vivid coloring. This is going to be a strong recommend from me. I simply loved it, and I am definitely hoping this isn't the last i'll be seeing of these two characters.

I picked this graphic novel up on a whim after seeing some of the art online a while ago and thinking it looked gorgeous. Very fable-esque in tone, it centres around an owl helping a ghost to make peace with her life and death, and struggling with the rule that forbids animals from interfering with human lives. Story-wise, it was fine. Things felt a bit rushed and there were a couple of plot holes (even within the context of such a whimsical story), but I did like the allegorical message about overcoming difference so we can stand together against injustice. The highlight was definitely Sara Richard’s art, however. She forgoes traditional panels entirely, the whole thing blending together into one continuously flowing visual narrative. The attention to detail is stunning, and I would certainly seek out more of her work.
