Book Summary

Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier is a beautifully illustrated middle-grade graphic novel blending magical realism with heartfelt exploration of family, culture, fear, and loss. The story follows Catrina (“Cat”) Allende-Delmar and her younger sister Maya, who has cystic fibrosis. Their family moves from Southern to Northern California, seeking the coastal air of Bahía de la Luna to improve Maya’s breathing. Cat, anxious about the move and her sister’s health, struggles to adjust. Maya, ever optimistic, becomes fascinated by the town’s renowned ghost tours led by neighbor Carlos, especially around Día de los Muertos .

As the sisters settle in, they begin encountering friendly ghosts—ethereal figures tied to memory and death. Maya embraces them, while Cat reacts with fear and guilt, especially after Maya’s ghostly encounter lands her in the hospital. Through cultural immersion—tasting Mexican food, participating in the vibrant Day of the Dead festivities—Cat gradually confronts her fears and learns the ghosts represent enduring love and connection beyond life. The climax at the midnight celebration is both eerie and uplifting, weaving together themes of mortality, cultural identity, sisterly love, and the courage to find joy despite uncertainty .
