this book is great. I loved it. I never thought that the ghost was going to turn out like that but i had the feeling that the ghost wasn't just going to be nice.

I always forget how much I love graphic novels until I read another one. I really enjoy and appreciate the way the art and the words create the whole story. I am in awe of such amazing talent. Anya's Ghost was the perfect mix of supernatural and realistic high school life. I feel like any girl (or boy) can relate to Anya through her tribulations in family life and in school and feeling different. Though her identity might not be the same as mine I definitely felt a kindred spirit. The supernatural element of Anya bringing a ghost home with her sparked just the right amount of spooky plot. Through Emily's actions and her own, Anya is able to work through some road blocks and learn a few things about herself. A perfect read for almost everyone but especially teens! The only problem is that I want more!

i can compared my life to anya..because i know how it feels not to fit in high school ;]

Anya’s story is for everyone who has ever felt like an outsider and wished to be just like everyone else. She struggles with her identity as a Russian immigrant, worries about her weight, and feels as if she has no friends. When Anya falls down a well, she meets a ghost whom she unwittingly brings home when she is rescued.

Spooky in a fun and believable way. Although the drawing style will appeal for children, I wouldn't recommend it for young readers. It addresses some pretty heavy concepts.
