Anya's Ghost | |
Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn't kidding about the "forever" part . . .
Of all the things Anya expected to find at the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them. Especially not a new friend who's been dead for a century.
Falling down a well is bad enough, but Anya's normal life might actually be worse. She's embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her body, and she's pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new friend―even a ghost―is just what she needs.
Or so she thinks.
Spooky, sardonic, and secretly sincere, Anya's Ghost is a wonderfully entertaining debut graphic novel from author/artist Vera Brosgol.

“Anya's Ghost is a masterpiece, of YA literature and of comics.” ―Neil Gaiman
“Remarkable. . . . With an attitude and aptitude reminiscent of Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) who likewise conveyed the particulars of an immigrant adolescence, Brosgol has created a smart, funny and compassionate portrait of someone who, for all her sulking and sneering, is the kind of daughter many parents would like to have. And the kind of girl many of us maybe once were.” ―The New York Times
作者简介Vera Brosgol was born in Moscow, Russia, and emigrated with her family to the United States as a child. She has a degree in Classical Animation and currently works as a storyboard artist at Laika, Inc. Her work can be seen in the acclaimed Coraline.

I loved this book a lot in my college writing class. It was so different from all the other material that we had to look over. The story itself is simple, but hits home with topics that many teens and young adults struggle with. Acceptance, norms, and being understood are highlighted as well as the idea of being an outsider. As easy at it is to digest, this story makes huge statements in how humans perceive themselves in relation to others as well the internal struggle that every human being fights at least once in their life. Great read and lovely illustrations.
A gripping read with adorable art that touches on some mature subject matter, though I can't see why someone might call it a "masterpiece".
At the end of the day my only complaint is there's simply not enough of it! I felt like I was only starting to really get to know Anya when it was over. I want to see more of her and her family and friends.
I can only hope that the book is enough of a success to see more of it, because with further development I could easily see it living up to Neil Gaiman's high praise on the cover.
FOR THE NERDS: Something that bothered me was the print quality, which feels barely better than something made at Staples. Yeah, it's a cheap book from an unproven author and a low-profile publisher, but I like the book and would prefer it not to have smudged or runny ink on some pages.
