Two sisters begin boarding school and don't fit in. When young Katia runs away to the nearby graveyard, older sister Victoria relies on a loner ghost's help to rescue Katia from a mad scientist trying to save his son, Modie. The dynamic graphic novel's warm watercolor palette effectively tempers the story's darker moments while also reinforcing the affecting family relationships and the be-yourself theme.
