Beetle & the Hollowbones by Aliza Layne

5.0

AH! I really love the style, color pallet, design of the characters, expressions, and world building in this graphic novel! Obviously a lot of time and care went into this entire creation! Everything is very thoughtfully done and just in general really creative AND FUN!

Def. one of my favorite reads this year and reminds me of [b:Taproot|35833506|Taproot|Keezy Young|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1570462987l/35833506._SY75_.jpg|57340135] a little bit.

Really awesome to have spooky/fantasy vibes in such a great work such as this. Our goblin has ambitions to become a great magic user and find that her own goblin type magic...disappointing. She runs into a previous friend who has some major magic and they reconnect. They find that their friendship may be tested by authority figures, a bit of a mystery to get a ghost out of the mall, and a chance at love??? Exciting and really fun adventure!
