Ghost Book is a kindhearted and incredibly sweet middle grade graphic novel by Remy Lai that explores the nature of death and the afterlife through the use of Chinese mythology. It is about a human girl who seems to be easily forgotten teams up with a ghost boy who seems to get himself into a lot of near-death experiences to find a way for him to keep his human form. Little do they both know just how their histories are connected. Fans of Spirited Away, Coco, and Neil Gaiman should enjoy this story. It is one of the best graphic novels I've read all year. And I think this book is highly deserving of some awards. Remy Lai has a very charming art story and is an incredibly gifted storyteller. July Chen wanders through her own life, almost like a ghost, until she teams up with a boy who's stuck in-between...but then they find that in order to bring him back to life, she might need to sacrifice hers. Filled with Hungry Ghosts, delicious (and magical) dumplings, and even a trip to the Underworld, this is a culturally sensitive story that's perfect for those who want something a little spooky. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"July Chen sees ghosts. But her dad insists ghosts aren't real. So she pretends they don't exist. Which is incredibly difficult now as it's Hungry Ghost month, when the Gates of the Underworld open and dangerous ghosts run amok in the living world. When July saves a boy ghost from being devoured by a Hungry Ghost, he becomes her first ever friend. Except William is not a ghost. He's a wandering soul wavering between life and death. As the new friends embark on an adventure to return William to his body, they unearth a ghastly truth--for William to live, July must die"--Provided by publisher. No library descriptions found. |
