#BookReview: Batcat by @MeggietheRamm @abramskids

Synopsis: A new graphic novel series for emerging readers about accepting yourself and others from up-and-coming author-illustrator Meggie Ramm

Batcat loves being all alone in their home on Spooky Island. Up in their tree house, they pass the time playing video games and watching TV. But when Batcat suddenly finds themself haunted by an annoying, ice cream–stealing ghost, they visit the local Island Witch for a spell to remove their ghastly guest permanently! 

With their Ghost-B-Gone spell in hand, Batcat travels across Spooky Island to gather ingredients—to the Cavernous Caves where the bats tell them they’re too round to be a bat, and to the Whispering Cemetery where the cats will help only if they commit to being a true cat. But Batcat is neither and that's what makes them special, right?  

From up-and-coming author Meggie Ramm comes a sweet and fun story about accepting yourself when you're perfectly in-between here and there.

My Review: This was the cutest little graphic novel I have read in some time.  It is a great little story about a little Batcat that learns it's ok to be different and to have friends.  I loved every page and can not wait to get my hands on a finished copy so it's in full color.  This would be a great book for anyone who is having feelings of not being accepted as they are. 

Review

“This graphic novel for emerging readers spins an eerie yarn full of dead trees and secrets into a winning combination of charming and funny. The story flies along at a brisk clip to a terrifically satisfying ending. This intentional celebration of nonbinary identity reminds readers that they don’t have to be only one thing; they just have to be themselves.”―School Library Journal  --This text refers to the hardcover edition.
