Can you imagine, as a teenage girl, having a family secret that could mess up your friendship with the cool kids who rescued you from high school social oblivion? That's the plight of Chelsea, protagonist of Shawnelle and Shawnee Gibbs' Ghost Roast. Her father's business, Ghost Roast, is all about removing paranormal entities from places they're not wanted. He has really obnoxious ads everywhere. Could things get worse?
Well yeah. When she's caught by the police trespassing on an end of the school year prank her mother sentences her to spend the summer helping her father evict supernatural entities by blasting them into oblivion.
Only something quite unexpected happens, when Chelsea and her dad and his assistant arrive at a creepy mansion. She discovers that she has the ability to see and communicate with the deceased without out electronic devices. She befriends a cute boy ghost and his ghost 🐎 and adorable white, fluffy ghost 🐈 who she doesn't want killed a second time.
But how can she protect them from her father until she can find a way to keep them existing?
A lively plot and vibrant illustrations bring Ghost Roast beautifully to life--making it a sweet treat for younger graphic novel affecianados.
On a purrrsonal note yesterday for the first day I realized that, barring an unexpected catastrophe, I am graduating this year. There's a lot of pride, but also a sense of loss. For all these years I've known I'm a grad student. What will I say during the time between 🎓 and my first higher education job. Who will I even be?
A great big shout out goes out to the other UMaine students who will be walking with me.
