This stand-alone graphic novel is one for the YA fans. It is packed full of gorgeously illustrated panels, the pains of being a misunderstood teenager, and ghosts. What more can a reader ask for? Chelsea Grant is just trying to fit in at a prep school where everything about her labels her as an "untouchable". But the popular kids have noticed her and at the end-of-year party Chelsea gives into peer pressure. She lands herself in a sticky situation, and her punishment? Working for her ghost-hunting father all summer! This could mean the end of any social life Chelsea has, especially if the fact that she can see the ghosts without her dad's inventions gets out!

I found this graphic novel to be visually stunning. I loved the cooler shades of color used. Each panel was exactly needed to move the story along. The characters where relatable and believable. The overall theme is one of my favorites. Ghost stories are just so much fun to read, and Ghost Roast is one of my new favorites!
