[Graphic Novel Review] Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol

November 8, 2018      Erica Robyn      14 Comments

Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol was a cute graphic novel about a high school girl named Anya who becomes friends with a ghost. Things seem pretty innocent at first, but they certainly take a dark turn!

Let’s dive right in!

My Thoughts on Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol

The story follows the main character, Anya, as she deal with typical family and high school related drama.

But suddenly, the story takes a very dark turn that I wasn’t expecting. I understood that there would be a ghost, as the synopsis explains. So when Anya first discovers the ghost, that wasn’t too shocking. But what happens later on totally threw me for a loop!

The artwork was simple and fun. I really enjoyed how wonderfully illustrated the characters and their facial expressions were.

Unfortunately I can’t saw much else without giving too much away! So overall, this was a fun read! I definitely enjoyed it while I was reading, though I don’t think this is one I’d reread. Even so, I would recommend it!

    Yikes, the way those kids talk to each other in the first picture – wow! But I kinda want to know what this dark turn is all about!

    I really enjoyed this one! And the last MG graphic novel I read was probably by this author…Be Prepared. 🙂

    I love this author! My daughter would be horrified at the name-calling, but it's good to see examples of what bullying really looks like for girls.

    I don't think I've ever read a middle grade graphic novel before. This one sounds good though and that unexpected twist with the ghost really has me curious.
