Ghost Roast by Shawneé Gibbs, Shawnelle Gibbs

5.0

---

For fans of ghostbusters, this YA paranormal adventure follows "Ghost Girl" Chelsea and her "paranormal removal expert" Dad as they use their DIY tech to exorcize ghosts but what if ghosts need to be saved instead of exorcised? This was such a beautiful book of gorgeous illustrations and immersive storytelling. I enjoyed everything about this from the New Orleans culture and Black history, to the discussions of racism and slavery, to the absolutely endearing exposition teenage angst and first crushes. This was an absolutely amazing graphic novel and I highly recommend it to everyone.
