Taxi Ghost

Gr 5-8–Esteemed graphic novelist Escabasse brings readers along a ride from Brooklyn to Montreal through the story of a young girl named Adéle who is embracing her recently discovered abilities, despite familial pressure to ignore them. During winter break, Adéle is surprised to learn she can see and communicate with ghosts. It’s an ability passed down to the women of her family when a young woman gets her period. Though Adéle’s grandmother is adamant that she learns how to keep ghosts away, Adéle chooses to try and help a ghost that has asked for her aid. With lots of humor and a smattering of adventure and even romance, Escabasse’s latest supernatural tale will delight young readers. Vibrant artwork with pops of color, expressive characters, and beautiful scenic panels guarantee this book will be as much of a hit as Escabasse’s popular graphic novel, Witches of Brooklyn.
