Ghost Roast by Shawnelle & Shawneé Gibbs 5/5 ⭐️

Omg this was the absolute cutest YA graphic novel ever! New Orleans, historical fiction and present day mixed with paranormal ghost hunting and a teenager finding her place in the world — say no more, that’s my kinda book! I loved the illustrations of this book. The fact they were in color made them even better. The story was really funny and interesting. I would recommend this book to any paranormal lover.

Reluctant Reader Wednesday: Ghost Roast by Shawnelle Gibbs & Shawneé Gibbs, illustrated by Emily Cannon 

Chelsea Grant manages to fit in with the popular crowd at her New Orleans high school, but that’s only because the other kids don’t know about her father’s job at Paranormal Removal Services. If they knew that her father was a professional ghosthunter, her reputation would be over and she would be demoted back down to untouchable status.

When a wild night out leads to Chelsea and her friends being arrested, and her father comes to pick her up, the consequences are even worse than she expected. It’s not just that everyone now knows that Chelsea’s father is a ghosthunter who makes VERY embarrassing commercials. It’s that part of her punishment is that she has to work with her father at Paranormal Removal Services for the entire summer. 

But when Chelsea discovers that she can see the ghosts that her father is paid to get rid of … that’s when things get REALLY complicated.

Give this graphic novel to teens who enjoy paranormal fiction, as well as stories about friendship, family problems, history, and secrets!

Rating: 4.5/5

Book Blurb: Ghost Roast delivers a paranormal adventure full of first crushes, lost histories, and the impossible task of fitting in when your dad is a professional ghosthunter. A stand-alone YA graphic novel from authors Shawneé and Shawnelle Gibbs and artist Emily Cannon!

For as long as she can remember, Chelsea Grant has tried everything she can think of to distance herself from the disastrous damage her father does to her social life. It's not easy to shake her reputation as Ghost Girl when Dad keeps advertising his business as a "paranormal removal expert" in big, bold, loud letters all over New Orleans!

This year, Chelsea's all grown up, attending one of the most prestigious high schools in the city, and she's finally made friends with the popular crowd. Things are looking up—until a night on the town backfires spectacularly, landing her in hot water at home. Her punishment? Working for her dad at Paranormal Removal Services. All. Summer.

Worst of all, her new job reveals an unexpected secret she has to keep: While Dad hunts ghosts with his own DIY tech, Chelsea can actually see them. And when she meets Oliver, a friendly spirit, at the fancy mansion her dad is getting a handsome fee to exorcize, she realizes she has to save his after-life, even if it risks everything her father's worked for.

Review:

When your dad is a paranormal ghost hunter, fitting in can be hard. Chelsea Grant is about to have the summer of her life when she is forced to work for her dad's company, filled with cute ghost crushes, lost histories, and solving a mystery! Chelsea has always wanted to fit in, but fitting in can be hard when you are the daughter of a ghost hunter. So after a year of finally making friends with the popular crowd and attending a prestigious high school, Chelsea thinks things are finally turning up... but after a night out backfires and she gets arrested, her punishment is to work for her dad at the Paranormal Removal Services for the entire summer. The worst part is that the secret about what her dad really does also comes out... and the fact that when she goes with him to a job and actually starts seeing ghosts, ghosts that only communicate with her, Chelsea knows her summer has just started. Then there's the mystery of the very cute ghost boy and who he is! This was a charming and fun read, definitely a cute one to add to the autumn spooky tbr!
