Séance Tea Party by Reimena Yee
All around lovely illustrations and an encouraging story! It felt a touch weak and rambling at the beginning, but by the end the plot got pulled together very nicely. The parallels of Lora and Alexa grappling in their own ways with what growing up means to them and how to grow without abandoning parts of yourself were beautifully and tenderly done- I think many readers will be able to relate!
children's middlegrade graphic novel - 11/12 y.o. introvert misfit Lori Xi's best friend Bobby (a queer Black boy trying to fit in himself) starts to drift apart from her, but Lo meets a new ghost friend Alexa whilst playing with a ouija board one day. (takes place over September thru Halloween (Lo's birthday falling on 10/30), Christmas, spring, and another birthday. Set in modern day (with a ghost from the 70s discovering the information available through a wifi-connected tablet) in an unnamed location (author is Malaysian/Australian).
beautiful and super-cute digitally-penned artwork with plenty of middlegrade appeal. I missed some details on my first reading (Bobby forgetting to wish Lo a happy birthday), but I love how Lo's character and her imagination are captured on the page, her reluctance to let go of childhood as easily as the other (suddenly boy-and fashion-obsessed) girls seem to do, the awkwardness of being caught in an uncertain, in-between age.… (more)

Pleasantly surprised. Filled with wanderlust and lovable agents of chaos. The main character Safia is blind, but it's not the focus of the story.
In fact, the story explored Safia's want to travel and need for connection with others. The prologue also has a sing-songy, fairytale narration in the beginning that I thought was fun.
