TW: mind you, this review speaks of depression

“How am I ever gonna to survive the party if I can’t handle a simple hello.“

Sam is a sad ghost and has problems to get out of bed every day. When his parents go on a trip and he is left home alone he suddenly gets invited to a party. He’s very anxious, but shouldn’t he go?

Depression is mentioned in numerous of books. And when it does I can’t but feel getting depressed by reading it. Most of the time it’s heavy, extremely sad and harsh. But although this graphic novel speaks of depression, I never felt this way reading it. Never have I experienced a story about being sad and creating awareness about mental health in such a lovely and positive way. Besides, these watercolor drawings, although black and white, are wonderful!
All in all this graphic novel is pretty awesome. It has sheet ghosts, perfect for fall, cute frogs, cats and the excitement of a new friendship. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in reading about mental health and still feel light, comforted and just have a lovely reading experience.
