Ghost in Cabin 13: A Graphic Novel

Description: Beware of Cabin 13! When a devious ghost possesses Leah's doll, she must face her biggest fear--befriending the teen girls in her cabin to save the other campers from an evil spirit.

"Growing up and figuring out who your people are is challenging enough, but imagine if you also have to fight off your favorite doll! The ghost of Cabin 13 will leave you spooked and delighted!"--Sophie Escabasse, bestselling author of Witches of Brooklyn

Twelve-year-old Leah is nervous to attend sleepaway camp for the first time. She's worried about meeting new friends, living out in the woods, and being away from her family--the totally normal, non-supernatural scary stuff that all new campers think about.

But Leah didn't expect to also have to fear the ghost in Cabin 13. It's a good thing she brought Beverly, her beloved doll, for comfort...

Between getting picked on by the older mean girls in her cabin, participating in a séance gone terribly wrong, and befriending (then unfriending) a possessed doll, Leah's summer at Camp Cottontail goes from boring to straight-up spooky!

Review Quotes: "Growing up and figuring out who your people are is challenging enough, but imagine if you also have to fight off your favorite doll! The ghost of Cabin 13 will leave you spooked and delighted!"--Sophie Escabasse, bestselling author of Witches of Brooklyn

"Making new friends at sleepaway camp takes on a spooky twist. Leah, a tender 12 and a half years old, dreads spending a week at Camp Cottontail. Her cabin mates, girls mostly ages 14 and 15, don't relate to her taste in books and mock her beloved doll, Beverly. When some Ouija board hijinks in the infamously haunted Cabin 13 seem to awaken a ghost, Leah must choose between forging new, healthy connections and indulging a deceptively friendly specter who is secretly sabotaging and isolating her. Phillipps depicts her characters with the same noodly limbs and necks, although faces and personalities are distinct. The palette shifts to a monochrome blue for nighttime scenes, which makes each return to color feel like a respite from creepy happenings. Both the paranormal and human elements are engaging, from camp counselor Connie's apathy in the face of increasingly off-the-wall drama to the genuine bonds that develop among the campers. Regardless of which hook draws readers, they'll be absorbed; the final act combines both in a moment of earned maturity and catharsis. Leah and her family are pale-skinned; the Camp Cottontail community is diverse. A coming-of-age journey worth sharing around a campfire."--Kirkus
