Anya's Ghost/ Vera Brosgol/ 221 pages

I think I read this page-turning graphic novel in one sitting. It was a great story that I thought was just going to be a cute girl falls down the well and now has a ghost friend story. But, there was a little bit more to it than that. Anya is a self-conscious Russian immigrant, but when she makes friends with a ghost, she starts to see herself a little differently and realizes some things about herself as she researches the truth behind her ghost's demise. Anya is very likeable and I like the twist that the story takes. And the pictures were a great way to tell this story. I can't imagine not seeing the ghost and seeing the changes that Anya notices too.
