This was the NH 2018 Great Stone Face winner. It is a graphic novel. The author, Rena Telgemeier, is very popular with young students. I generally find her books a bit too mature for a K-5 library. This was perfect. It is a touching story in which a family needs to move in order to improve the health of the main character's sister. They move to a town which has ghosts, and on The Day of the Dead, ghosts are all supposed to come back and visit their families! Cat is petrified while her sister is excited. Getting excited is not good for her health, though, so Cat tries to keep them away. (GN TEL)
