Greg has lived in Lancaster his whole life. The town's always had its quirks, and being born without a shadow means he's counted among them. When Greg discovers an old mansion in the woods just outside of town, he didn't expect to meet a smart, beautiful, funny, and...very dead teenaged girl named Eleanor. Yeah. He's in love with a ghost. And before he knows what's happening, Greg finds himself at the wrong end of a history lesson when the town's past, and his own, threaten to pull the two of them apart permanently!… (mehr)

Man, this book is strange. The art-style really is attractive and suits the story, a quality which a lot of other graphic novels totally miss. But, like, the plotting and character development? This book has more than enough pages to let its story-line develop and actually make sense, so why does it fail so badly? Why were there so many moments when I had no idea who was talking or what was happening? I understand that standards are sometimes lower for children's lit, but kids deserve better than this weirdness.

The main character has no shadow ~ for mystical reasons that are only vaguely explained 2/3 into the book ~ and his best friend since childhood totally accepts this weird thing about him, but at the same time she thinks he's either crazy or lying when he says he's seen a ghost. That's just bad world-building, y'all.
Also the potato-fairy memory things? They're adorable and I want 12 of them but what the heck??!

I was on the fence between 2 or 3 stars for much of the book as the story is a pretty goofy and sloppy with its supernatural elements at times and the main character is at a place in his life where he is not particularly likable, but I liked how it all came together as a weird examination of the id and super-ego made relatable for young readers.

Greg is known as the boy with no shadow. His mother is dead, and his father's new girlfriend is moving in. His best friend is seeing a guy he dislikes. When Greg visits a haunted house, he develops a relationship with the ghost no one else can see, and his missing shadow makes an unforeseen and devastating appearance. (
