Gracie's Ghost: A Graphic Novel -- Dawn Brown, Paperback

A heartwarming tale of an eccentric kid navigating the perilous adventures of school and family life with the help of her guardian ghost.

In order to move on from the afterlife, a selfish ghost must make amends by helping a young girl build her confidence in a frustrating world full of school bullies, moms who just don't understand, scary teachers, and a younger brother who always gets what he wants.

Gracies's Ghost is an original graphic novel for tweens who haven't always had the easy road and need to know they aren't alone, or readers of any age rooting for the underdogs who get through life with the help of an imaginary friend.

Divided into brief, self-contained stories connected by themes of sibling rivalry, empathy, bullying, and perseverance, Gracie's Ghost is a bittersweet and emotional book, reminiscent of Calvin & Hobbes, The Girl and the Glim, and Sheets.
