There are so many great graphic novels for kids out there with depth and a clear narrative. This was a great premise that didn’t deliver on storied morals, characterization, or dialogue. It wanted to be too many things and address too many tropes, so it couldn’t decide what it wanted to be. Cute illustrations that kids can enjoy, but there’s nothing memorable about it.

Very twee! An not so ghostly Truff is guided by two forest spirits to turn from plans of revenge against the hunter who killed her to love for her family. Good low text for struggling readers/ELL, but too moralizing for my taste. A lil wacky and I’m sure will be popular with precocious readers in 1-3rd grades.
