4.5

The graphic novel of a tween goblin-witch, a trapped blob ghost, and witchcraft. Beetle & the Hollowbones is an adorable graphic novel that brings together an unlikely friendship, strict magical rules, and possible young romance. 

I found this graphic novel to be so wholesome and cute.
The villainous characters are given their due justice and the friendship blossoms and the romance grows. I was all warm and happy feelings at the end of this book
I thought the way in which Blob Ghost communicated was unique and fit perfectly in the graphic novel format. It was heartwarming to see the relationship between Blob Ghost and Beetle, and though this is a fictional, fantasy story, I was warmed by the connection they had.

I will absolutely be recommending this one!
