Review: Ghosts
Gaby Meares
What a gem! This book is just a delight. Catrina moves with her family to the coast of California so her little sister can benefit from the salty fresh air; Maya has cystic fibrosis. Telgemeier deals with so many issues in this graphic novel, but she has a light touch. The sisters become involved in the Day of the Dead celebrations, and find a way to not only face the inevitability of death, but also re-connect with their mother’s heritage.
I loved this graphic novel and highly recommend it to all readers from Year 5/6 +.
