Description
…and he has no idea why.
Meet Jake Spooky. He’s a shy, punk-rockin' ghost who has some strange and mysterious powers bubbling just below the surface. Things can get a little bit...WEIRD in Jake's world. Luckily, his roommates, the TV-headed Brand-o and Quincy the cat, help keep things under control—most of the time. One day, as a massive hurricane approaches, Jake can’t seem to stop puking up wolves, and their landlord has had enough! If any more wolves show up, the three friends are going to get kicked out of their house.
Jake just wants to chill out and have band practice. But first, he will need to look inside himself and unravel the mystery of the wolves within.
“Reading Jake Spooky is like taking a walk into Michael Grover’s delightfully bizarre brain, it literally made me hungry for more (and strawberry jam)”. - Jerusha Hess (Oscar-nominated co-creator of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre)

Featured Reviews
This was a quick, engaging, funny and crazy graphic novel that alongside its cool cover art will appeal to children and young teens.
The story is easy to follow alongside the dialogue and images that blend well to tell the story of Jake the ghost who keeps puking up wolves that are making his and his roommates, Brand-O & Quincy, lives complicated. In order to fix the issue Jake has to learn to accept all parts of himself even the parts that feel difficult.
Friendship, helping others and accepting yourself are strong themes throughout this story and readers get to experience Jake and the groups’ problem-solving capabilities. The illustrations are simple, crisp and cartoony which are apt for the story alongside the minimalist colours which provide a depth to the quirkiness of the story.
Thanks NetGalley and Astra Publishing House for this free arc/copy of Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him; all opinions are my own and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
