A haunting and hopeful Middle Grade graphic novel about a girl, ghosts, and grief. For fans of Sheets, Small Spaces, and Ghosts.
WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOOHOOD!
Eight-year-old Ona has lost just about everything: her home, her possessions,
her mother, and almost her life. When she and her father move into her Baba’s
apartment complex after these traumatic events, they had hoped for a clean
start. But a mysterious specter follows her, and Ona befriends the ghost she
discovers haunting the boiler room. When her new friendship starts allowing her
to see other ghosts—the ghosts who haunt the other residents of her
building—she decides to use her ability to help her new neighbors face
their troubles and free themselves from their specters. In doing so, however,
Ona must eventually come face to face with a much darker foe—her own
trauma and grief. The earnestness of Judy Bloom meets the raw emotion
of I Kill Giants in this beautifully hopeful story of
childhood tragedy.
An original graphic novel for Middle Grade readers about grief, loss, and the
ghosts that haunt us all.
For fans of Brenna Thummler’s Sheets and Delicates.
What are
some of your favorite video games, tv shows, or movies?
Corey-Keeping it brief.
Games
• Legend of
Zelda (From the beginning to now in all forms)
• Final
Fantasy VII (PS version 1997) The remake is pretty good.

feels as a 14-year-old.)
• Overwatch
• Warcraft 3
• GoldenEye
007
• NBA 2k
Series

Creed, Breath of The Wild, Cuphead, Untitled Goose Game.
Tv shows;
The Wire, Stranger Things, The Dark, Kids in the Hall, SCTV, M.A.S.H.

Movies; into
the Spider Verse, Shawshank Redemption, Princess Bride, Iron Giant, Brave, Last Night, Super Eight,
Amélie, A Very Long Engagement, Willow, Star Wars, Superman.
Lisa- When it comes to TV, I mainly watch
cartoons and anime. I don’t watch too many shows that aren’t animated (maybe
because I am an artist?). Some of my recent favorites are: The Owl House, Hilda, Centaurworld, and Miraculous Ladybug. When it comes to video games, I love to play
puzzle games, adventure games, short indie games, and games with fun colorful
art styles. In general, Zelda games
are always a favorite and I am obsessed with Stardew Valley. Recently I played Tunic (probably my game of the year) and Superliminal.
