by John Moore (Author), Neetols (Illustrator)
A heart-warming, supernatural slice-of-life graphic novel that gently weaves together tough, everyday themes of identity, grief, and accepting flaws in those we love the most.
Living with his grandfather and struggling in a new high school, Damian decides to summon his mother's ghost so he can talk things out - but he blows it and summons Saskia, a scruffy, annoying kid. Trying to settle into his new life, Damian doesn't need her hanging around trying to 'help' him with his crush - but Saskia's suffering too, and everything they're both hiding deep down might be just what they both need to get some peace. John Moore and Neetols paint a sweet and hilarious tale of young love amid grief, where someone's flaws might be the reason you love them the most.Author Biography
