This is a nice little story. Hamal is a gardener who happens to have the ability to see ghosts. Among those is Blue and the two become fast friends.
I like the paranormal elements of the book. The relationship between the two boys is developed really well. Even though there is a gap between their worlds, they have the ability to breech it and overcome one of the biggest obstacles facing them. Their relationship is really the defining part of the book, rather than the supernatural parts or the character sexuality.
I enjoyed the art style, particularly the use of colors throughout the book. It made the story stand out.
