A very cute graphic novel that all ages will enjoy. I really enjoyed the artwork, especially how the ghosts were drawn as it showed the movement very nicely. The story was super cute too and I have quite a few people I will be recommending this to.

Thank you so much Netgalley and Brenna Thummler for the ARC!
I wanted to throw a hissy fit when the book ended too quickly - without telling us more about Wendell, the family he belonged to, who he was waiting for. Then I realised there are two more books in the series!
I didn't enjoy the book from the very first moment. In fact, I considered putting it off because the starting was so slow. Then, Wendell's story caught my attraction and I really wanted to see what happens to him in the end. I felt so sad for the poor guy. Death isn't my favourite topic of discussion, especially when it involves drowning and a child. I felt for Marjorie too. Playing the role of an adult when her mom recently passed way with the responsibilities of her unstable father and young brother on her shoulders, it's surprising how she didn't crumble from the weight. I suppose some of us don't have the luxury to quit. It is a book worth reading. So, if the pace frustrates you too, hang on! It will get better.
