This book is so wonderful. I loved the style of the artwork and colouring. The pacing is fantastic. The main character is Anya, a Russian immigrant to America. She feels like she doesn't fit in at her school. After falling down a well she becomes friends with a ghost. Which had it's perks to start with but takes a strange and terrifying turn.
One of the best things about this book is it really is very relatable to (not the befriending a ghost part), like you can imagine what it's like to be Anya. To feel disconnected. Or be the odd one out and just trying to fit in with everyone else at schoo, it's kind of how I felt whilst being at school.It all makes Anya just feel very real.
Basically just read it! It's a perfect book, it's dark and creepy and just beautiful. Plus there's a quote from Neil Gaiman on front, he knows his stuff.
Sorry this wasn't a very good post I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things.
Oooh, I've heard of this before but never actually knew what it was about, it sounds really interesting! I might just have to add it to my 'to-read' list :)
