Effie is lost and only feels like a ghost - till she discovers an actual ghost school in the nearby woods and begins an unforgettable journey of self-discovery.
...the rich illustrations, diverse cast, and small twists on middle school angst establish a world that seems to demand another chapter. - Publishers Weekly
Effie is lost, and feels like a ghost. She skips school because she doesn't think anyone will notice, and doesn't feel like she belongs, or that school offers her anything that she wants. Simply, she has stopped trying. One day, when she realizes no one will notice, she escapes from her every day life... and discovers a ghost school in the nearby woods. But just as she's beginning to learn all about the amazing things that ghosts can do - like possession, poltergeist-ing, demon magic and more - Effie is asked by her new friends to help track down a mysterious spirit that's been spotted. But if Effie's going to succeed, she'll not only have to show her friends that she's got something special,but also learn to believe she's got it too.
Award winning writer S.M. Vidaurri (Iron, Steven Universe) and artist Hannah Krieger (Psychic Mansion) present a new original graphic novel about discovering what makes you special and helping others be seen for who they are.
