A sweet and touching middle grade story about grief and queer self discovery, as well as dealing with topics of friendship, financial instability and ghost hunting.
The story follows 11 year old Bug, whose Uncle just died and whose hause is haunted, as Bug tries to figure out how to cope with the grief and to understand what the new ghost wants to communicate. And why can Bug only ever see ghosts when Bug looks in a mirror?
The writing is good and intruiging and I loved the plot of self-discovery and the examination of how such well-meant sentences such as "just be yourself" can be really hard to deal with when you don't know who you are yet. I also really enjoyed the descriptions of gender dysphoria and grief, but also the complicated friendship between Moira and Bug, who only stayed friends because their parents work together.
All in all a good book that I would recommend to middle schoolers who enjoy slow character focussed stories.
