The delicate and expressive illustrations are executed in shades of gray, black, and navy; the gold accents of the Spirit Flower signify its value in bringing back those who have passed. The quirky character dynamics create a sense of comic relief amid the emotional intensity… Intriguing supernatural elements grounded by genuine expressions of friendship and understanding. (Graphic paranormal. 13-17) – Laura Simeon, Kirkus Reviews
Neetol’s graceful artwork, all rendered in varying shades of gray with plenty of white space, nicely capture teen life and Damian’s melancholy loneliness. Her figures resemble anime/manga art, with slim bodies and large round eyes … The story was at its funniest, strongest, and most poignant when it focused on Damian and Saskia’s growing friendship … Teens who love manga will appreciate this one volume story. This would be a good read alike suggestion for readers who have enjoyed other supernatural friendship stories, such as the Sheets series by Brenna Thummler. – Susan Harari, Youth Services Book Review
British author/playwright Moore provides a poignant, heartfelt tale of grief, loss, and hopeful healing.
