In this hilarious and heartwarming graphic novel, a young girl's first period brings an unexpected gift: the ability to see ghosts! As she meets these spectral visitors, she uncovers her family's secret lineage of mediums, while learning about the power of compassion and community. Adle just wants to spend her winter break at the library, cozied up with her favorite books, and completely forgetting abut her friends who are all traveling to warmer climates. Unfortunately, life has other plans...not only does Adle get her first period...but she learns she comes from a long line of mediums! And if seeing ghosts wasn't enough of a surprise, Adle learns that not only can she interact with them, but apparently, they've been using her sister's car to get around the city for years! When the ghosts won't leave her alone Adle starts to get to know about them and their problems. Maybe helping them out will be just what she needs for an exciting winter break! From Sophie Escabasse, the author of the beloved Witches of Brooklyn, comes a brilliant graphic novel that explores growing up and the importance of standing up for what you believe in.

4 ⭐This was fun and unique. A girl has her first period and learns that she can see ghosts. She is what her family calls a medium and not everybody in her family has this special ability. She starts seeing ghosts in various places, makes friends with them, and helps solve a problem. This book looks both at family, at gentrification of neighborhoods, and how time changes. That‘ll be checked out by kids for years to come.

monkeygirlsmama Sounds cute. 5mo
LibrarianRyan @monkeygirlsmama It really is. The ghosts use all cars as taxi's. Its such a minor point, but without it, we wouldn't get the action of the book. 5mo
