A coming-of-age tale with a spooky twist!
Maggie McKay hardly knows what to do with herself. After an idyllic childhood of homeschooling with her mother and rough-housing with her older brothers, it’s time for Maggie to face the outside world, all on her own. But that means facing high school first. And it also means solving the mystery of the melancholy ghost who has silently followed Maggie throughout her entire life. Maybe it even means making a new friend—one who isn’t one of her brothers.
Funny, surprising, and tender, Friends with Boys is a pitch perfect YA graphic novel full of spooky supernatural fun.

I want everything about this. From this snippets I've seen, and this darling cover, I just know I'm going to love the art direction, and the story sounds great. [I almost put "to die for" but that was just a little too sickeningly punny...] But yeah, I'm looking forward to this one for sure, AND it's from the people who published Anya's Ghost. And y'all know how I feel about Anya's Ghost, right? I mean, I talk about it all. the. time.
So here's to hoping for another one like Anya's Ghost to kick off the new year!
What's on your wishlist this week?
Cool pick and definitely great artwork! I love the synopsis!
