Description
"A sweet and quirky romance sure to set hearts racing." — KIRKUS Starred Review
"A rip-roaring tale of young love and betrayal." — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"A journey full of twists, turns, monsters, and redemption." — BOOKLIST
Ken Takamoto is a wannabe racer stuck at home for the summer, with only his mother for company. Dante Willow is a ghost stuck in the car he crashed while racing his rival twenty years ago.
When they meet by chance, Ken has the answer to both their problems: enter the local racing league Hex Americana and win the annual Grand Prix. If they win, Dante can pass on to the afterlife and Ken can keep Dante's fixed-up car to go anywhere he wants. What starts as a simple plan becomes a wild summer full of witches, gnomes, feelings, magical chickens, and more as they prepare for the big race.
Will Ken and Dante finish first? Can they even make it to the finish line? And more importantly, what happens when this racing duo blooms into something more?
Bursting to the brim with crazy monsters, blazing automotive action, deep-rooted mysteries, and small-town secrets, HEX AMERICANA is the race everyone’s dying to win!

Hex Americana is an entertaining ride on every page and only partly because of the race car driving. Set in a fantasy version of America (chicken-people, witches, ghosts, friendly monsters of all kinds), the story follows Ken’s adventure into the world a racing, love, and reckoning with your past. While definitely a light and fun tale, the characters deal with real issues in a meaningful way. And the art is filled with incredible looking people and action sequences that will keep you flipping back to marvel at the creativity of the world of the story.

Ken is a teenage boy who loves racing and one day stumbles upon a ghost named Dante, a racing legend who hasn't been able to move on from his ghostly existence. This book takes you on a wild ride with a cast of quirky characters and various monster species. The LGBT love story at the heart of this graphic novel kept me reading and though I don't care for racing in real life I certainly enjoyed it mixed with this magic world. I would read more from this author! I overall really enjoyed this.
