Praise
"Eleanor Crewes totally blew me away. The art is evocative and the story is authentic and hilarious. As a gay woman I'm constantly looking for content that feels true to my own experiences, that helps me understand myself more; in this book, I found that."
—Tillie Walden, author of Spinning and On a Sunbeam
"This gentle yet somewhat spooky story deftly balances realistic plotlines of sisterhood, growing up, and sexual orientation with fantasy elements of magic and unusual creatures."
—Kirkus, starred review
"The illustrations of this graphic novel are colorful, yet soft."
—School Library Connection
"A recommended read for comics fans looking for LGBTQIA+ representation, and a solid additional purchase for libraries where spooky comics are popular."
