A review by mbenzz
The Ghost, the Owl by Franco

3.0

This is a sweet story of friendship that is beautifully illustrated. I'm not usually a fan of Manga style artwork, but this was done so well, that I fell in love with it. It really gives the story that fairy-tale magical feel.

The story is short and simple, yet has a wonderful message for children. Friendship, overcoming adversity and standing by those you care for are the main theme here. I only gave it three stars though because I feel this could have been so much more.

I'm not sure if the story is to hold up the artwork, or the other way around, but if the story is to take precedence, then a little more character development would have gone a long way.
