I really loved everything about this, especially all of the little background details. My only issues were that sometimes the action got a little hard to follow in the art and that Beetle and Kats romantic chemistry felt a tad bit rushed (but they were friends prior to the start of the graphic novel so I can mostly let it slide). Overall a big win for gay people.

The graphic novel of a tween goblin-witch, a trapped blob ghost, and witchcraft. Beetle & the Hollowbones is an adorable graphic novel that brings together an unlikely friendship, strict magical rules, and possible young romance. 

I found this graphic novel to be so wholesome and cute.
The villainous characters are given their due justice and the friendship blossoms and the romance grows. I was all warm and happy feelings at the end of this book
I thought the way in which Blob Ghost communicated was unique and fit perfectly in the graphic novel format. It was heartwarming to see the relationship between Blob Ghost and Beetle, and though this is a fictional, fantasy story, I was warmed by the connection they had.

I will absolutely be recommending this one!

This graphic novel was cute and a lot of fun. Loved the artwork and coloring as well! I found the story to be a tad cheesy, but that could be because it's geared towards a younger audience.
