The Ghost, The Owl by Franco, Sara Richard (Illustrator)

ARC PROVIDED BY NETGALLEY

Three stars exclusively for Sara Richard's illustrations, because the story is underdeveloped and mediocre.

And even Richard's illustrations, though absolutely amazing when depicting the forest animals, were a bit incongruous when it came to the ghost girl, who looked like some kind of manga fanart.

The dialogue was very simplistic and sometimes grammatically unsound, like when the owl refers to something as "more strange" instead of stranger. 

All in all, Richard's art deserved a much better story.
