Review: GHOSTS by Raina Telgemeir


Cat and her family were moving out of SoCal. Her dad says it was because of his new job, but she knew the real reason—her little sister was sick.

Her new home was a place called Bahía de la Luna, a place where the sun didn’t shine too much, and Cat hated it. Her sister, Maya, was so full of energy—so much life and adventure—that it was hard to believe that she was sick.

One day, the two follow an unknown path down a chilly walkway that led to an abandoned boardwalk. Inside an old building, they meet a guy named Carlos, who tells them all about ghosts. But there’s no such thing as ghosts…right?

I liked how the story infiltrated the Hispanic culture and told all about Día del los Muertos. Of course, Cat hated the thought of spirits coming back to visit. It was just creepy! Funny how Cat just freaked out about ghosts, especially when weird sounds and cold winds start happening. But what happens when she starts seeing real ghosts?

Vibrant and colorful illustrations with beautiful landscapes! I loved the facial expressions and animated gestures.

A sweet story about death, heritage, and sisterly love. A wile and ghostly fiesta!

My rating: 5 stars
