Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol (2013)

, 7 Oct 2014

Anya's Ghost is a story of young Russian immigrant Anya in High School, coming to terms with her background, her mum, who she is as an individual, her curves, and the ghost girl she has just found. 

The book is entertaining, it flows well, and it reads easily, and beyond the coming of age story there is the added twist of the ghost story, which turns darker at the same pace you turn your page. 

This is a traditional comic book in format and narrative, very well drawn, very dynamic, with an use of black and white that I absolutely love, especially the blue-ish greys the author uses to create depth and texture.

Having said that, the book is full of narrative and character stereotypes.

Perfect for teenagers.
