Tell A Librarian What To Read

Usually readers come to the library to find something to read, and any librarian would be happy to help you find it. But once in a while the tables turn and a patron sends a librarian on their way to a great story. Such is the case with our young patron, Nora, who suggested Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol.

This graphic novel is about a ghost with a dark history and a girl trying to find a balance between fitting in and being herself. A mystery for reluctant readers and bookworms alike.

Take a look at Nora's Summary and Review below. (WARNING: SPOLIER ALERT)

Anya's Ghost
By Vera Brosgol
Review By Nora C.
It starts out with a girl named Anya who goes to a private school. She was walking through the park, and she fell in a well. In that well she finds a skeleton. She screams, then she hears a voice. It's a ghost named Emily. Emily told her that she can't go far from her bones, so Anya breaks one off and takes Emily home.
At home Anya asks Emily how she died. Emily answered that her parents were Roamans so when people were passing through they would let them sleep in the barn. Then one night Emily went down stairs and found someone that they let sleep in the barn over her dead parent's bodies, and he was ready to come up and kill her. So she ran all the way to the park and fell in the hole; and fell a certain way so she couldn't move. But it turns out she lied. That's not what happened at all. Anya found that out when she said Emily could not come to school with her.
Emily would always help Anya cheat, but instead of going to school, she went to the library and saw her friend. He helped her, and she found out that Emily started her house on fire. So Anya went home and Emily wanted to kill...
For more, read the book. I think this is a really good book. You should definitely read this book.
