Beetle & the Hollowbones by Aliza Layne

5.0

This was a 4.5-rounded-up.

A sweet charming story of a goblin witch and her friends. Beetle is a great main character, she's funny, kind, passionate, loyal, and friend to those in need.

Her grandmother was a hoot and I wish she was in the story more.

How she befriends and sticks by Blob Ghost is endearing and I'm sure we all want a friendship like that.

Her friendship and maybe something more with Kat was adorable, they set up a solid friendship between them and you could feel the past connections with them.

There were a few things lacking for why the villain was doing what they did. A tiny bit of dialogue or backstory might have cleared that up. And some moments that weren't fully explained well, but they were few so it was ok.

This is perfect for the spooky season and probably all year round.
