Beskrivning
Living with his grandfather and struggling in a new high school, Damian decides to summon his mother's ghost so he can talk things out - but he blows it and summons Saskia, a scruffy, annoying kid. Trying to settle into his new life, Damian doesn't need her hanging around trying to 'help' him with his crush - but Saskia's suffering too, and everything they're both hiding deep down might be just what they both need to get some peace. John Moore and Neetols paint a sweet and hilarious tale of young love amidst grief, where someone's flaws might be the reason you love them the most.

Recensioner i media

A lonely outsider who lives with his grandfather, Damian saves up for a Spirit Flower to summon his mother's ghost, but mistakenly calls up Saskia, an irritating, nosy nine-year-old he's now stuck with until the Spirit Flower wilts. Saskia's antics push Damian into the spotlight at school, but there's a mystery surrounding the secretive little ghost. Can he help her solve it, while finding his own niche? A tender, touching 12+ graphic novel about loss, identity and acceptance.
