Publishers Weekly An untalented punk band and a parallel dimension what could go wrong? In Borja Gonz lez's stunning graphic novel two parallel stories reflect and intertwine in a tale of youthful dreams and desires. In 1856, Teresa a young aristocrat is more interested in writing avant - garde horror poetry than making a suitable marriage. In 2016, three teenage girls Gloria Laura and Cristina want to start a punk band called the Black Holes. They have everything they need: attitude looks instinct and an alarming lack of musical talent. They've barely started rehearsing when strange things begin to happen. As their world and Teresa's intersect they re haunted by the echo of something that happened 160 years ago. Elegantly crafted with delicate cartooning and a brilliant autumnal color palette Gonz lez's first full - length work delivers a quietly emotional evocation of the universal hopes and desires linking characters across centuries. Library Journal This thoughtful graceful look into young women trying to find their place in the world may appeal to other adolescent frustrated artists. Booklist A Gift for a Ghost is an uncommon fantasy that speaks to the perennial difficult - to - verbalize issues that teenagers face. Book Page A Gift for A Ghost is the exact opposite of the way so many stories are told today It's about collaboration between the reader and the work and creating a personal experience from it something that all the best creative works aspire to.
