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!

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.
