review 1: A beautiful graphic novel, bound in a beautiful binding. So pretty it took me three extra days to start it, because I did not want to break the seal. Once I opened it, it was a young adult swamp tale, with a vengeful ghost and grumpy caretaker and hoodoo witch.The art is lovely, the story entrancing and over too soon. I am seriously tempted to steal the binding design for all my graphics . . .
review 2: This YA graphic novel is the story of a young girl who is sent to live with her grandfather on an isle in a Louisiana swamp after her parents die from eating poisonous mushrooms. There is a lot of superstition among the residents of the isle and they practice hoodoo and follow protection rituals. The writer did a good job of creating a sense of place in that ... moreregard. The art is well done, clean and conveys the action and atmosphere nicely. It was a pretty engrossing story – a little coming of age, a little adventure, a touch of romance. There’s a good bit of southern mythology here and a nice build up as the girl tries to fit in to her new surroundings and ultimately has to help save everyone on the isle from an otherworldly threat. There are some interesting characters and a couple of good plot twists. Overall this is a good read for teens (and adults) looking for a coming of age story with a touch of the paranormal. less
