Gracie keeps having a hard time so it's good she has a ghost in her life to support her. She gets bullied, she's allergic to the dog, just one thing after another, and I could so relate. This was odd and warm and wonderful. I smiled at the unique illustrations, and I smiled at the end. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Man, this hits hard with all the injustices of being a kid. Bullying at school, unfair treatment at home. Gracie's mom was a real hot and cold bitch and it enraged me. Her dad was so sweet but he really should have stopped the unfair treatment. Despite all of this, Gracie is a great kid and rises above the abuse (mental at home, mental and physical at school). A bit of 80s nostalgia in this too. Definitely recommend. Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC

Gracie's Ghost explores the emotional complexities and situations that are completely out of control. This is an amazing graphic novel that contains themes of bullying, gender inequality and dreams as well as hobbies being differentiated on the basis of gender. This is a powerful theme vividly expressed and it was definitely worth reading.

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.
