I recently checked out The Ghostkeeper by Johanna Taylor. This was a really cool story.
Johanna did the story and the artwork in this book, and they paired very well together. This YA novel is perfect for anyone into ghost stories.
The Ghostkeeper follows the story of Dorian Leith who can see and talk to ghosts. He helps them try to move on to the afterlife by listening to and working with them on their problems. Then, the key to death’s door goes missing and all the ghosts are trapped.
How does Leith navigate being able to talk to ghosts, his best friend being his ghost grandma, and the cute boy at the bookshop without being completely ostracized by the village? Not too well!
Whenever I’m reading a book, I always think about if it could also work as a movie or a show. The Ghostkeeper would definitely work as an animated movie. It would be tremendous. The scenes with the ghosts could be colorful, beautiful, and frightening all at the same time.
This book is a lot of fun, and you should check it out.
Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Group Dutton for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
