Lola by J. Torres
4.0
'Lola: A Ghost Story' by J. Torres with illustrations by Elbert Or is a graphic novel about a young boy with a gift that his grandmother have, but it probably doesn't feel like a gift.
Jesse travels with his family back to the Philippines for the funeral of his grandmother, or Lola. She was an unusual woman who could see the dead. Her grandson Jesse discovers he has the same gift, when he begins seeing his dead cousin. The cousin has a task for him to do, but is it a trap?
I liked this story of family and ghosts. The story builds nicely, and I liked the included glossary of the different types of ghosts and monsters in the culture. The art is nice too, but I wish that it had been full color.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
