This was a interesting graphic novel about a girl who’s adopted and her bio mother (a person who steals souls, literally) tries to essentially kidnap her for her own selfish reasons.

The illustrations were fantastic and the writing was lyrical and engaging which I think all children would enjoy. 

Besides it’s fantasy elements and the main storyline I feel like this story has a deeper meaning to it. That it doesn’t matter where you come from, it doesn’t determine who you are or who you’re meant to be. Also it shows unconditional love from her father, and how family isn’t always blood related.
