Beetle is a young goblin-witch who just wants to learn how to fly her broom and hang out at the mall with her bff Blob Ghost. But things start to get complicated when her ex-bff Kat returns to town.

Kat’s mentor, and aunt, is an evil old thing who wants to demolish the mall to have access to the land. Beetle needs to put her magic to the test to free Blob Ghost from the mall before it comes crashing down.

I borrowed Beetle and the Hollowbones from my library on a whim over this past summer and it is now one of my favorite graphic novels.

There’s magic, found family, sapphic love, a ghost bff and lighthearted adventure. The story is so funny and sweet and the artwork fits perfectly.
