4.5
The art, I think, helps this along. It's a colorful, adorable art style that fits right in with the subject matter. Lora is afraid of becoming a teenager because she thinks it means she has to leave the magic of her childhood behind. But she makes relationships throughout the story that show that you don't have to leave this magic behind when you become an adult.
Alexa's storyline was probably the most emotional in this book. She's a ghost, trying to remember how she got that way. However, like Lora, she realizes that she can't just stay a child forever. Especially as everyone around her grows older. I definitely teared up at moments in this book, which was unexpected.
All in all, I'm so glad I picked this one up. Another great graphic novel to add to the pile!
