A new friend from an old well

Anya’s Ghost pairs the familiar pressures of school and family with a supernatural friendship: after falling into an old well, Anya encounters the ghost of a girl who has been dead for a century. Anya’s embarrassment about her family, discomfort with her body, and sense of not fitting in shape the personal stakes of this graphic novel, while the ghost’s promise of companionship raises questions about what that friendship entails. The horror premise sits alongside themes of belonging, self-image, and connection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in graphic novels with a horror premise.
  • Readers drawn to stories about school belonging, family, and self-image.
  • Graphic-novel readers who enjoy supernatural friendships.

Book overview

Already love Vera's work? Don't miss her first novel Return to Sender!

Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn't kidding about the "Forever" part . . .

Of all the things Anya expected to find at the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them. Especially not a new friend who's been dead for a century.

Falling down a well is bad enough, but Anya's normal life might actually be worse. She's embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her body, and she's pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new friend--even a ghost--is just what she needs.

Or so she thinks.
Spooky, sardonic, and secretly sincere, Anya's Ghost is a wonderfully entertaining debut graphic novel from author/artist Vera Brosgol.
