Ghost Roast by Shawneé Gibbs, Shawnelle Gibbs
5.0
informative mysterious reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Ghost Roast is a fun middle grade comic.  I loved it was written by 2 black sisters and the illustrator is a woman from India.  Minority girl power.  The story is cute and so age appropriate.  It tackles restoration of old slave plantations, slavery and the dirty secrets they house.  I loved the diversity of the characters and the kids, just being bratty kids.  Very real and honest.  Great story.
