Séance Tea Party by Reimena Yee

 

I recently read the paperback edition of Séance Tea Party by Reimena Yee. This is a children's graphic novel that is beautifully illustrated in full color. 

What drew me to this graphic novel was the title of the book and the premise of the book itself. Séance Tea Party by Reimena Yee is about a young girl named, Lora. Lora is afraid to grow up and begins to feel left behind by her friends as her friends are becoming more interested in teen type activities than Lora is. 

Although, I loved the idea behind Séance Tea Party by Reimena Yee, I didn't love it as much as I thought or hoped I would. I liked it, but didn't love it. The best part of this graphic novel was the artwork!

Below is the publisher's summary for Séance Tea Party by Reimena Yee, which I discovered on Amazon's wensite:

Lora wants to stay a kid forever, and she'll do anything to make that happen . . . including befriending Alexa, the ghost who haunts her house. A middle-grade graphic novel about growing up that's perfect for fans of Ghosts and Making Friends.

Growing up sounds terrible.

No one has time to do anything fun, or play outside, or use their imagination. Everything is suddenly so serious. People are more interested in their looks and what others think about them than having fun adventures. Who wants that?

Not Lora.

After watching her circle of friends seemingly fade away, Lora is determined to still have fun on her own. A tea party with a twist leaves Lora to re-discovering Alexa, the ghost that haunts her house -- and Lora's old imaginary friend! Lora and Alexa are thrilled to meet kindred spirits and they become best friends . . . but unfortunately, not everything can last forever.

Reimena Yee brings to life a story about growing up, childhood, and what it means to let go. A fantastical story following lovable characters as they each realize what it means to be who you are.

I am giving Séance Tea Party by Reimena Yee a rating of 3 stars of 5 stars.

Until my next post, happy reading!!
