Review
Overall, this book was decent and worth the read. The book was not really my cup of tea, but others may really enjoy this book. I got this book from the library because I was looking online for clean graphic novels that others have loved. I found a lot of positive reviews of this book, so I decided to read it myself.
My main complaint about this book was that it was hard to follow the storyline. I loved the illustrations of the book, but I felt like the story line needed a little more work. It was difficult to tell when the story was a flashback or not.
The Lost Boy did have a unique and exciting storyline. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes ghost stories.
