I thought this was very cute and a quick read! This is definitely one of those stories that should be made into a cartoon series.
This was cute!
Spirited: Day of the Living Liv is the first in a spooky graphic novel series that focuses on Liv’s experience moving to a new town that’s haunted by ghosts. When she attends her new school she has trouble fitting in since she’s the only living student. Fortunately, she makes new friends and is eventually able to adjust. I like that this was a glimpse into the middle school experience with a spooky twist. The artwork was charming and really paired well with the story. I wish that the author would have explored the back story of the family more. Readers don’t really understand why they moved. There also seems to be some “rivalry” between the two towns that’s unexplained as well as her parents completely ignoring all the paranormal activity going on around them. Granted, I’m an adult reading this and I definitely think a kid would be able to spend their disbelief better than me. I still thought it was an enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to checking out the next volumes.

An adorable spooking graphic novel centred around a young girl who movies to a new town and school. She discovers that she’s moved to a literal ghost town, Liv struggles to fit in; and battles with the ‘identity’ of being the odd one out in a new place. But soon enough she makes new friends that she becomes fond of and finds herself liking the new place. Though a fun graphic novel for children, there’s an overall theme/message for all ages—that no matter what if you just be yourself then everything will be fine—to enjoy.
