COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Northern CA Mission Ghosts and the Day of the Dead submitted by sdunav on June 17, 2017, 10:03am I struggled with how many stars to give this - the portrayal of cystic fibrosis seems good, but the descriptions of the Day of the Dead and the missions in northern California are problematic (see here: https://booktoss.wordpress.com/2016/09/18/ghosts-swing-and-a-hard-miss/ ). And honestly I didn't like the way the ghosts were drawn or their role in the community. But there was a lot I really liked about this graphic novel....so 3.5/5 for me

Good, but... submitted by zoe.dvh on June 25, 2017, 3:33pm I found it really great but according to other reviews there were problems portraying certain events? I don't know if that's true, but it shouldn't stop you from enjoying it. Go ahead!

Great story submitted by Xris on July 16, 2021, 12:46pm Now I want to go to a Day of the Dead celebration! And I like how cystic fibrosis was weaved into it too, talking about breathing. I had a classmate that had CF, so it makes me think of her.
