Review

This is a graphic novel that celebrates the Day of the Dead and sheds light on family challenges.

Cat’s family is relocating to a northern California seaside town where the air is better for her younger sister who had CF. The story line is introduced as the family drives north. Readers learn about Mexican cultural traditions and sisterly love in this new graphic novel. Although the subject matter is somewhat scary the author’s treatment of ghost is refreshing and entertaining.

Written by an experienced and well revered author this is a graphic novel that all librarians will want to add to their collection.

Overall Book Score: very good
