Genre: Life, Mystery, Graphic Novel
Target Audience: Young Adult
Date Published: 2011
A story about friendships, ghosts and staying true to yourself. Anya struggles with the everyday troubles of a teenage girl who isn't truly understood by anyone. Anya's unique outlook on life is brought on by her status as a Russian immigrant and teenage outcast.
I really enjoyed this book. It is a graphic novel and the art is really neat. It is done in monochrome colors and a fluid style that really set the mood. At its core, Anya’s Ghost is a tale of learning the importance of being true to yourself. The supernatural element is almost incidental.
I’d love to give it a full five-out-of-five but some parts of the tale seemed rushed (like the ending) and it seemed to cry out for a sequel. Essentially, there seemed to be something missing (at least to me). However it was a great read and you should go find a copy to read right now!
4/5 stars
