3.0

This is a good graphic novel for elementary and middle grade which incorporates African (specifically Ghanian) storytelling and artwork into a story about a middle school girl who visits her family in Ghana after getting in some trouble for telling stories that the adults don't believe at school. It retells some Ananse stories as well as introducing kids to ideas about colonialism (though an actual explanation is missing, so for kids who have no prior knowledge, this could be a starting point for learning more). I'm not sure if this is just a error in the book I read from, but several pages were very pixelated and not high quality, but that stood out because the rest of the book was not that way.
