I love ghosts and I love queer books so I was excited to read this. The story is alright, but I was disappointed. The Way the Uncle situation was handled felt like Roderick was forcing Bug to do things he wouldn’t do in order to fit the role Roderick assigned to him. At first I was really excited because it felt like Bug was questioning their gender and was going to label themselves as something ambiguous and not easily defined, but then Roderick steps in and bam! suddenly Bug knows exactly who they are and everything is perfect. I just didn’t but it. I understand this book is for kids but it felt unrealistic to me. What if Roderick never got involved? Why did he wait until after his death to start pushing his expectations on Bug? What if Roderick was wrong about his assumptions? It’s a good story, I just wish it had been handled better.
