Taxi Ghost invites us into chilly winter wonderland Montreal, where we meet Adèle and her family. Adèle gets quite a surprise when, upon getting her first period, she begins to see the spirits and souls of the city!
Adèle soon finds that the ghosts need her help—the city and its community (ghosts included) are at stake! (Gentrification impacts ghosts, too!)
Things I really liked about this read:
- Use of color in the ghosts and ancient ghosts!
- Illustration was beautiful and inspiring.
- Talks about menstrual cycle in an empowering, community-building way.
Without spoiling anything, I have to mention how touching the storyline of the Soul Eater was—that scene had me in my feelings. The ending scenes are gorgeous (an understatement) and emotional. I loved the humanity and community shown throughout this story, in both the ghost and human realm. The storyline is mellow and humorous enough to remain a cozy read yet compelling enough to want to tear through in a sitting. It was a joy to read from cover to cover.
