“A lot of books have a moral, some lesson about how you have to stay true to who you are. How it doesn’t matter if you’re different, you don’t have to act like everyone else, and that the most important thing is to be yourself. But those books never tell you how to figure out what your self is. They assume you know already, and are pretending to be someone else for a while to fit in.”

I stumbled upon this at my library and ... wow. I don’t have many words for this little book yet, but Bug’s journey was so relatable and was a story I haven’t seen displayed in literature much at all. The above quote sums up the book really well, and while I think everyone would enjoy it, this book will most certainly resonate with those who aren’t quite sure who they’re supposed to be—or how they’re supposed to figure it out.

Oh, and there are ghosts.
