Anya Ghost Vera Brosgol Books

This graphic novel by Vera Brosgol comes across, at least initially, as a typical teen coming-of-age story. Anya Borzakovskaya is the daughter of a Russian immigrant. She’s frustrated with her family, frustrated with school, frustrated with her (kinda sorta) best friend Siobhan, frustrated with her body and her (lack of) love life and everything else around her. And then one day, Anya falls into a hole in the park and finds a skeleton. And the skeleton comes with a ghost attached — a skinny little girl named Emily who’s been stuck in the hole for 90 years.

When Anya gets rescued, Emily ends up tagging along. Anya doesn’t much want a ghost in her life, but she is helpful in certain ways. She can help her with answers during tests. She can find out when her crush will be out of class. She gives her tips on being popular. Emily wants to be Anya’s friend forever. And that could be a problem, because Emily is keeping secrets, and she’s a lot more dangerous than she lets on…

I wasn't expecting a lot from this. It starts out the way we’ve seen a couple dozen other graphic novels — misunderstood geek girl, unhappy with her life, grows up, becomes more mature, learns to appreciate the friends and family she has and maybe makes some more friends, too.

This one? It follows the familiar path for a while, and then, slowly, it turns into fairly straightforward horror. The end goal is still the same — personal and emotional growth for the protagonist — but it’s interesting how much the tension and fright ramps up, and how serious and powerful the threat becomes. There’s no gore or anything like that, but it’s still a nice piece of low-key horror.

The characters are great, too. Anya and Emily are the obvious focal points, but Anya’s mother and brother are also very well-created. Everyone else is fun, too — there’s not a dull character in the bunch — snarky Siobhan, geeky Dima, skeezy Sean, beautiful but miserable Elizabeth, even the school principal at the end.

Vera Brosgol’s art is moderately cartoony, but cartooning helps make the characters and situations more universal, more appealing, and more emotional. And the art does a fantastic job of conveying the humor of the story, as well as the eerie shenanigans going on behind the scenes.

Anya Ghost Vera Brosgol Books Reviews

I received it in great condition and pretty fast. I did not enjoy the project I had to do regarding this graphic novel for my Art History college course... I did, however, find the novel to be good anyway.
It's definitely one of those coming to age type book, growing up fro experience type of books but in a fictional and illustrated way. The illustrations are really cool and simple in my opinion and demonstrated the emotions and attitudes of the characters very well.
I wont say the story was well written but the ghost parts were good. should have written 'This book is for kids above 14' or something like that. Some stuff are so disgusting (no offence if you like romance) I could have vomited. Not going to say what they are.
(Spoiler alert from here onwards)The ghost is ok at first and she was kind and friendly before the main character before she found out the truth about the ghost, Emily. What they searched on the computar was kind of creepy. Emily looked like she had blood flowing out of her eyes. Eventually she managed to convince Emily to go back to her hole. The creepiest parts was when Emily managed take over her bones and crawl out of her hole. But I still haave some questions hanging like
1. If Emily coud take over her bones and move things, why did she choose to only do it when the main character join her?
2.Where does she get her ghost stuff?
3. Emily said she could fly too far away from her bones. How did she fly up into the sky in the end?
4. How did Emily change her look after a few days?
I guess some questions aren't answered. Like I said, it is ok for me. I bought this book after reading Awkward and Brave. If you ask me, I think Awkward is the most interesting. This is more for teens and I think I just chose a wrong book for me. A little overprised too.
Yikes! I got this one wrong! My ten year old loves graphic novels - think Sisters or Awkward - this came up as similar. But it's really not the right age group. Lots of smoking, poor language... she was loving the ghost part, but might be dark for some.
Lesson learned that I need to pay closer attention selecting these types of books!
