A haunting and hopeful Middle Grade graphic novel about a girl, ghosts, and grief. For fans of Sheets , Small Spaces , and Ghosts.

WELCOME TO THE NEIGH BOO HOOD!

Eight-year-old Ona has lost just about her home, her possessions, her mother, and almost her life. When she and her father move into her Baba’s apartment complex after these traumatic events, they had hoped for a clean start. But a mysterious specter follows her, and Ona befriends the ghost she discovers haunting the boiler room. When her new friendship starts allowing her to see other ghosts—the ghosts who haunt the other residents of her building—she decides to use her ability to help her new neighbors face their troubles and free themselves from their specters. In doing so, however, Ona must eventually come face to face with a much darker foe—her own trauma and grief. The earnestness of Judy Bloom meets the raw emotion of I Kill Giants in this beautifully hopeful story of childhood tragedy.

A sweet middle-grade graphic novel that covers some deep themes.

After losing all their possessions, Eight-year-old Ona and her father have been forced to move in with her paternal grandmother, whom she calls Baba – Ukrainian for grandma. One day, while rescuing one of grandma’s many cats from the boiler room of the building, Ona bumps into a ghost. Surprisingly, the ghost uses her virtual pet device to communicate with her and seems quite friendly. However, Ona soon discovers that her new friend “Haunty” isn’t the only spook in the building. There are many ghosts haunting the residents, and Ona has to figure out how to get rid of them.

I didn’t expect to be so surprised by what I assumed to be an ordinary ghost story. The depth in which it explored human emotions is quite unexpected for a middle-grade graphic novel. Of course, this direction was to my advantage as I enjoyed the themes of grief and of ‘letting go’ and how these were incorporated. If you pick this book wanting a scary horror story, you might be disappointed. There are a couple of “scary” scenes, but nothing major, and I doubt even those scenes would traumatise children because they are resolved so well.

Ona is a strong lead character, while Haunty is charming in its limited appearances. Baba also is a well-sketched and complicated character, who loves her son and her granddaughter but also wants her quality time and is very opinionated. Her recipe for ‘Perogi’ is included at the end of the book.

The illustrations are quite simple yet effective. I loved the portrayal of the various ghosts. The bright colours work wonderfully for the plot.

Why I am not going higher with my rating is that the book leaves certain things unexplained. The events in Ona’s past don’t come out clearly, and I am still confused about what happened to her mum. Many characters have a mini back-story of sorts, but this is tricky to get from the panels. The younger of the MG crowd might have trouble processing these. Some of the “ghosts” are present in locations where they don’t make sense.

All in all, loved the idea, liked the implementation. Definitely a nice graphic novel that offers thought-provoking content. If you go with the flow without asking too many “Whys”, you’ll enjoy it. The lesson it offers is worth more than the minor plot gaps it contains.

4 stars.

This is a Magical Realism Children's Graphic Novel. I found parts of this book a little weird, but once the book got going I got into the story. I really enjoyed the story once I got into it. The pictures were so cute, and I loved them. I think this is a cute Children's Graphic Novel that covers the loss of a loved one. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Wonderbound) or author (Lisa Larose) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Note: I did buy a copy of this book after reading it.

I received this book from Netgalley/publisher in exchange of an honest review.


What I had expected, a cute maybe spooky story about girl and a ghost and the spooky new building she lives in. I was totally hyped and excited because that is what I need and want right now. What I got was a depressing read about ghosts, problems, issues, loss, mourning, and distress. I thought I would be reading a book that would make me laugh, or scare me lightly, something to distract me from things, but instead I was just crying. This sounds negative, but yeah, I just had a whole different set of expectations. If I had known that this book would be so sad I wouldn’t have read it right now. I would have, well… read it later. Yes, I should have read the blurb, though reading the blurb now, I am still not sure if I would have seen it was this depressing.

In this book we follow a little girl called Ona. She is 8-year old and lost most of her everything. As the story goes on we learn more and more on what happened and why she is now living with her dad at her Baba’s apartment. My heart broke each time we learned something new. Something more startling. I did love her friendship with Haunty (which is an adorable name). I loved the tamagotchi (are those still around, wow?). I was happy when she finally stood up to that bully. It was great to see her walk through the building to find stuff for that sale thingie and how she learned about all the residents. I loved how in the end she faced her own grief and trauma and got out stronger.

I loved her baba who wasn’t always sure how to handle things, but was there for her son and grandchild when they needed her. She was there to offer a shoulder, a hug, maybe some yummy food. Yes, I have to be honest and say I wasn’t sure about the baba at first. She was just a bit, how do I word it, as if she wasn’t too happy with them around. But she turned out to be fantastic. A real help. I also absolutely loved her cats. They were so fun and full of personality. I loved how they were there for Ona.

I still have questions on what actually happened that night. I mean, we know what happened, but how it happened. Given the note at the hospital I am guessing mom has something to do with it, and that her mental health got dangerous? But it is just so unclear and I would have liked just a tad more on that to get a more clear image.
While I loved that Ona went to find out what everyone’s ghosts were about and tried to help them all out, I did think that maybe she should have sought help. I mean, she is 8 years old, is still mourning and still recovering and still has a lot of things to organise to get everything right, and yet here she is, solving the problems of the whole building. And it just felt too much. I don’t know about you, but if I was 8 years old and had to work through a shitload of things? I would probably just burn and crash from doing all this. I wouldn’t be able to carry it all.

So yeah, I think I was just not in the right head space for this one. The last 9-10 months haven’t been the easiest for me and I just feel very not OK so many times. So reading about this book featuring grief, bullying, people in distress, mental health, and lots of sadness, it just wasn’t for me. It was a good book. Really. But just not for me. Not now. Maybe one day I will less like I am burning out and more like me again and I will read it again.

This is a graphic novel about a little girl who makes friends with a ghost, and discovers that her grandmother’s apartment complex where she is now living, seems to have an abundance of ghosts, that are not all of dead people. Instead, they are the fears of the living.

Rather deep book for an early middle grade level book, so kind of cool.

There are hints that she and her father may have lost their house in a fire, but we are never clear if that alone made them move in with the grandmother.

There are subtle ways to show that people are hurting from over eager helicopter parents, and other worries of kids.

Well done.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I almost returned this book without reading it, but I’m so glad I didn’t! The illustration on the cover looked a little simple to me, but the story was anything but! I liked the idea of a kid seeing the ghosts of living people, and learning how to help them from there. That was cool and original. But what really makes this book stand out is the main character’s backstory, where her mother had abandoned her after having a mental health issue that resulted in putting the child in danger. What a complex trauma! And it’s not wrapped up in some neat little bow by the end, but it shows that you can move on from parental abandonment. Not a common story. Also love the Ukrainian granny!

This was a great story! I love the idea that the ghost opens Ona's eyes to the issues her neighbors are facing. I came close to tearing up a couple of times because Ona was so thoughtful and caring.

Overall

I’m a sucker for ghostie books around fall. I feel like that should go without saying, really. So a graphic novel with a super cute ghostie right on the front cover? Obviously I wasn’t going to be able to resist that!

Ghoster Heights is an utterly adorable, heartwarming MG graphic novel about the things that haunt us and is filled with community and healing.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect of this book before going in, so I was very surprised by how heartwarming and heartfelt of a story it was! There’s a little baby mystery, but it’s not really the focus of the story (and it’s pretty easy to figure out, if you’re paying attention). The real strength of this book is in the way it portrays community and in the undercurrents of grief and healing that take place.

My Thoughts

- Ona and her father have just moved into Baba’s apartment following some personal tragedy, and she’s having some problems adjusting to her new surroundings. Ona’s situation is an entirely relatable one. After her mother left them, her and her father are struggling to hold what’s left of their family together. With Baba’s help, they might just manage it. Except Ona has no friends and doesn’t feel like she fits in with everyone in Ghoster Heights, and her father is always at work. I imagine middle grade readers will have no trouble relating to Ona, even if it’s just her awkwardness and struggle to make friends.

- Ona’s family, including her Baba, is Russian, and there are little nods to the culture as her family comes together and supports each other. I loved Baba as a character. There are ways that you can tell she’s likely an immigrant, but she’s also stands so well for any grandmother that I found myself smiling and fondly thinking of my own grandmother. She’s tired, in some ways, but she’s strong and determined to support her family. Baba is kind and patient and doing her best to give Ona all the chances she thinks she deserves. I especially enjoyed the little nods to Baba’s culture that are snuck in, including her language, food, and even an explanation of a matryoshka doll. It’s not up front and the focus of the story; rather, it’s just part of who Baba is, which is why I love it so much! It’s just enough to introduce readers to a culture they may not be familiar with.

- Something creepy is going on at Ghoster Heights, and Ona is determined to get to the bottom of it. Namely, she’s seeing dead people. By which I mean ghosts. I mean, it is called Ghoster Heights, so it’s perhaps earned its reputation in that regard. There isn’t just one or two ghosts, though. Ona has found that almost everyone has their own ghosts haunting them. Only one of them, though, is a giant, creepy, clearly malevolent creature haunting the apartment halls. As I said, there’s a little mystery here, which isn’t really the driving part of the story, but it is there. Especially in the way Ona is finding herself and coming to grips with her own ghosts as she’s hunting whatever lives in the halls of Ghoster Heights.

- At its heart, Ghoster Heights is wonderfully heartfelt, diving into the things that haunt us, even if that’s sometimes just ourselves. This whole part of the book was like a dagger to the heart, because as they’re reading, readers are likely to recognize some of themselves in many of these ghosts. We don’t always stop to think about the things that we’re carrying around with us, and Ghoster Heights is a really heartfelt reminder that we can sometimes be the ones hurting ourselves without even realizing it. One of the most powerful messages around this is the way that Ona takes the time and sets her mind to helping the other residents rid themselves of their own ghosts. It’s such a powerful statement about listening to other people and working together as a community and coming together. I definitely loved this aspect of the book!

If you’re one of the rare people who decide to read a book because of the title, cover art, and in this case that it’s a graphic novel, you may be able to comprehend my feelings. Oh, and did I mention that since I like everything to be a surprise I rarely read a synopsis?

So I started reading. And then I started wondering. Where was this story going? Should I read the book blurb? No way. After all, discovery, for me, is fun. So I plugged on.

The Story
Ona and her father are relocating. She is portrayed as a sullen eight-year-old. And her father? Well, he looks like he’s been awake for the last 48 hours.

The place they are relocating? Dad’s mom who, of course, is Ona’s grandmother. And Grandmother is doing her best to welcome her son and granddaughter, though it’s apparent she’s a bit lost as to the best way to do that.

The apartment complex where Baba (Grandmother in Ukrainian) lives is called Goesher Heights, though it has been nicknamed Ghoster Heights because rumor has it that it’s haunted.

Though Baba has never seen a ghost, Ona seems to be able to spot them. Now here’s where I nearly had to google where to purchase a decoder ring. I was confused. But as I continued to read I understood and found it interesting. Not all ghosts that Ona saw represented the same things. Some represented feelings such as fear and hunger. Others represented the souls of people who died. And some, emotional unhappiness and conflict.

But would Ona be able to help, or to even recognize these concerns? And would she be able to recognize her own ghost?

My Concerns
Okay, in this case, I probably would have benefited from reading the book blurb. But I still figured it out and worked through it quickly. For some, however, and that includes me, it might help to go into this story knowing that it’s not scary or funny. It’s a wonderful story about grief, loss, and fears that we all face. Deep, but important issues.

Final Thoughts
I honestly didn’t know what to expect from this book when I started it. But I was pleasantly surprised by artwork that beautifully complemented a heartwarming story.  And though I really didn't mention it, the story focuses on community and being aware of others and their concerns.

Do you need a compass or decoder ring to understand it? Nope, not at all. But it helps tremendously to know ahead of time that the story is on the serious side, not funny or scary.

This is definitely a book to consider, especially if you are a counselor or educator. And, of course, it’s also perfect for home libraries.

My thanks to Rockstar Book Tours and Wonderbound for a copy of this book and the ability to freely post my thoughts.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Death of a family member, abandonment, loss of a parent, bullying, overachiever sports parent, money anxiety, vandalism, guilt, etc.
POSITIVE GUIDE: Assisting others, empathy, inclusion, forgiveness, conflict resolution, self-help, self-improvement, friendships, community spirit, etc.

Ona and her Dad move in with Baba, (her grandma). It's a big change, and her Dad will be working long hours. But living with Baba and meeting new kids pales when compared to the ghosts that Goesher Heights is known for, and why they call it Ghoster Heights.

When is a ghost not a ghost? Ona's ghost friend disappears, and while she searches for it, she sees and hears the "ghosts" of resident's anxieties, guilt, and fears. It seems that the only way to find her friend is to help people she barely knows to "erase" or deal with their own issues. When she does, the biggest, scariest ghost has a problem similar to her own.

Ona's (Ukrainian) Baba and mischievous cats learn to love a shy little girl and help her find her way when ghosts seem to appear everywhere. As Ona uses creativity and empathy to help others, she gains courage to face what she and her Dad are going through.

This was a bit of a mystery along with insight into the life of a little girl going through a lot of changes. I especially appreciated the translations of Ukrainian terms her Baba used, but I wish the text had mentioned the nationality.

4/5

Seen through Ona's perspective, this story centers on the things that haunt people, from fear to regret to loneliness, and how compassion can combat a lot of unpleasantness in the world.

Ona and her father have moved into her grandmother's apartment because Ona's mom has left the family and they lost their house and belongings, somehow. Ona's nervous about living in an apartment with so many strangers but her no-nonsense grandmother helps her meet people and gives her a purpose.
She meets a cute ghost she calls Haunty. But there's another ghost that wants to get Haunty and Haunty disappears for awhile. Ona sees other ghosts but they're not the spirits of the dead, they're the aforementioned things that haunt people. Ona takes it upon herself to help her neighbors banish their "ghosts" but Haunty and the malevolent ghost are still out there somewhere and Ona needs to know if Haunty is ok and wants to find a way to get rid of the other ghost. Also, she makes friends with a confident and kind girl as well as with a kid who is a bit of a bully.

While I liked the main themes, the layout and execution were often confusing.
I don't know how this will be received by the intended audience. On one hand, the basic story is easy-to-follow and the illustrations are accessible, bright, and fun. But on the other hand, it gets kind of bogged down with vague references to Haunty's raison d'etre, the reason the malevolent ghost was haunting the building, what happened with Ona's mom (I took the illustrations to mean she had an untreated mental illness and took off one day, never to be heard from again?), and why adult problems were so obvious to child Ona and how she knew what to do to fix them and make everything better.

I'll have to chat with our youth librarians to find out what they think of this and see if any of them have received feedback from young readers.

Staying at Grandma’s? What…fun?

For Ona, life certainly wasn’t very interesting. The only thing she had was her virtual ghost pet… and it wasn’t working right. And it REALLY wasn’t working right when a cat knocks it from her and releases a REAL LIVE ghost. Yikes! RUN!

They say “Ghoster Heights” was haunted. “But don’t worry,” Grandma says, “in all my years, I haven’t seen a ghost.” That’s what she thinks. Evidently, the whole place was filled with ghosts that only Ona could see. Or were they all ghosts? It seemed that when Ona touched them, a memory sprung up. Or perhaps these were the ghosts of people’s haunted minds. It was interesting, but some of the panels can be a little confusing. Still, I liked Ona’s good heart and intentions as she tries to help these people. Yeah, Ona was helping them get rid of their demons. That was nice. And when things become too much for Ona, it’s good thing she has her grandma around to dole out some advice.

In this story, Ona becomes a little ghost buster…or, more accurately, a ghost eraser. Ghost gone! Ona becomes quite the problem-solver. With illustrations that were cute and entertaining, this is a warm and compassionate read with an exciting and ghostly end! We should all let go of our ghosts. It’s good to let things go. Very inspirational!

Received an eARC from Netgalley thanks to Wounderbound in exchange for an honest review.
Publishing date: Sept 2022

This is a cute story. It's told well, the pacing is good and the illustrations are clear, crisp, and fit perfectly with the tone of the work. The problem I had with this is that it bit way too much that it could chew which made everything feel too easy. If the novel wanted to be a cute story about a girl who finds a ghost and has to figure out how to help it move to the next world, I think it could have been amazing. Instead, she has to figure out a lot of ghost issues. The ease with which she does this zaps any dramatic tension from showing the problems, to begin with. And you know what, if the problems had been easy, I would have forgiven them... but NO she solves, bullying, generational trauma, financial hardships, and many other deeply complex problems often with just one sentence. I was a bit affronted by this, and wouldn't want a kid to think that 1. it is their duty to try to fix such complex problems or 2. that such complex problems are so easily fixed!

Eight year old Ona had the rug pulled from under her. She lost everything except for her father and she almost lost her own life. She and her father decided to move into her grandmother's apartment complex after the devastating events. They are hoping for a clean start but, a mysterious specter keeps following her around.

Ona decides to befriend the ghost that is haunting the boiler room. She starts to spot other ghosts that are haunting other residents. She decides to use her ability to help her new neighbors face their troubles and free themselves of their ghost. However, Ona soon realizes her neighbors are not the only ones who have a ghost. Will Ona be able to face her own trauma and grief?

The graphic novel had quirky vivid drawings. I enjoyed reading about Ona's struggles and how she tries to help others before she can come to terms with her own struggles. The graphic novel had themes of grief, trauma, and friendship that teach children in an easy to digest manner.

Even though Ghoster Heights is not marketed for adults my age, I still adored it. My heart went out to Ona. She learns some beautiful lessons about herself and others around her, as well. I loved seeing how she was able to find the compassion for others who needed and have a better understanding of what they may be going through without feeling sorry for herself. I liked the nice surprise in the end.

I loved the illustrations in Ghoster Heights. Lisa LaRose perfectly portrays Ona’s story and the pictures were a wonderful addition to the book.

Ghoster Heights is getting five stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of nine and thirteen.

I received a digital copy of Ghoster Heights from the publisher, but was not required to write a review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

The perfect cozy Halloween read, a great read for fans of the graphic novel Ghosts.
The artwork and colouring was gorgeous, perfect for this middle grade story. The characters were complex and felt real, and the story was emotional (I definitely shed a few tears!) and raw, while still being uplifting and beautiful.
If you don’t get a chance to read it for Spooky Season, it’ll also be a wonderful all-year-round read.

Although this is a book directed towards a middle grade audience, I want to give content warnings for; death of a loved one and house fires. This was only touched upon throughout the story however might upset those who have experienced this in the past.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an e-copy of this graphic novel to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This story had so much going on with it yet never felt like it was attempting to put too much into it. Ona's difficulties adjusting to a new home and having to make new friends is something a lot of young children can relate to. I really liked the message to readers that everyone has things going on with them that cannot be seen by others. This could be a great way to teach empathy and not to judge others too harshly because we don't know what they are going through. I highly recommend this for classroom and school libraries!

This was a cute story that talks about friendship, grief and loss! Ona is a strong main character and one the kids will be able to relate to. It has a nice pace and some nice and brightly colored illustrations. It has its heavy moments but the message the book gives and following Ona as she helps others will learning to deal with her own issues is a fun and heartwarming! Thank you Rockstar Book Tours, Lisa Larose, Corey Landsell and Kelly Mellings for sharing this book with me!

I wish there’d been more books like this when I was a young girl. Ghoster Heights is one I’d have begged my parents to buy for me so I could read it over and over. So much enjoyment to read and such expressive and colorful illustrations and genuine characters. Well, maybe not ghosts, as they aren’t real. Or are they? LOL Good clean fun and I’ve already read it twice.

A sweet, and funny story about the specters that we let out into the world and haunt us. These feelings, thoughts and issues range from adult to kids ones, and sometimes overlap. It is also a sweet and interesting family story, and how you can make a family even with the people you are not biologically related to. Yet, it is also a surface story that is strong (making friends and a ghost). Bubbly illustrations.

3 stars (I liked it)

This was a cute middle grade graphic novel. Ona has to move in with her Baba and she is adjusting to a new place. She discovers ghosts and realizes they all are a ghost of one of the residents of her building. She helps people deals with their issues and the ghosts go away. It covers some deep concepts and it was interesting but I do think that maybe of the solutions for people's problems seemed to be too simple.

My 3 year old bi-lingual granddaughter, on her first visit from China this month, insisted on having this book "read"to her a number of times because she was taken with the illustrations of the ghosts; she has subsequently created a few "ghost" games as a result...I assume the very simplified "story" was not as influential as the illustrations, but she is definitely choosing this book over those more suitable to her age and maturity-

I’d like to thank edelweiss and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. When Ona and her dad move in with her Baba after her mom leaves, she feels lonely and sad, but when she comes across a ghost she names Haunty, she starts to see more of the building and what’s going on with its inhabitants. I really enjoyed the storyline and the art that went with it.

Don’t let the “comics are for kids” style of this book fool you into thinking this isn’t worth the time of anyone over the age of twelve. This is a beautifully rendered work of comics art. While a child could read this book and comprehend it, I think only an adult will appreciate the depth of this story of grief, grace, and ghosts.

A cute, quick read which explores grief, loss, and worry in an accessible and easy to understand way.

I especially love that as a graphic novel, this will appeal even to some of my pupils who are less keen on reading chapter books.

Definitely one to get for the classroom!
