Gracie’s Ghost was a sad and powerful graphic novel about Gracie a child who is being bullied and constantly reminded of her place as a “girl”. A ghost stays with her most of the time to give her advice and support her.

Wow. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I started Gracie’s ghost and during the whole book, I kept feeling sad, revolted and scared for her.

This is an interesting book. I am not sure my library would purchase it but I would recommend it to patrons. Gracie's ghost takes place in an not so distant past where poor Gracie never seems to catch a break. A ghost (who follows Gracie around but is not able to be seen by others) makes wise remarks to Gracie to help her. Gracie struggles with her mother having different expectations of what she should like (clowns/dolls instead of Legos,) I know a few readers off the top of my head who I could give this to as it requires a reader who is willing to take their time to fully understand the story.
