Add a CommentCat's family is moving to a coastal town to help Cat's little sister Maya cope better with her chronic illness, cystic fibrosis. Cat must cope with losing her old friends, making new ones, and living in a town where everyone seems to be obsessed with ghosts. This graphic novel helps readers understand what it is like being the older sibling of someone suffering from a chronic illness. It also uses the Mexican culture surrounding Dia de los Muertos to tell the story of how Cat and Maya both come to terms with Maya's illness. This one is definitely a tear-jerker in the best way!

I was a bit thrown off by the supernatural element in this one, but still a lovely story. Raina Telgemeier never disappoints!
I really enjoyed reading Ghosts. It was a really interesting book. I love reading graphic novels and this book was an amazing graphic novel. I give 3/5 star rating because it wasn't my favourite but it was still really good.
This is my favourite book and we own it. I've read it so many times that it is now falling apart.
