(2) YA Maggie starts high school after having been homeschooled her entire life. Her mother--her only teacher and the only other female in a house full of men (Maggie has three brothers)--left the family the year before. The mystery of a restless ghost is unresolved but evocative in this graphic novel. However, the strong characters and excellent art give teens a (still rare in comics) girl's slice of life.
