“Taproot” by Keezy Young

book cover
Subtitle: A Story About a Gardener and a Ghost
Recommended to me by: Anne

This is a delightful graphic novel about two young people who spend a lot of time together, one a gardener and the other a ghost. The art is colorful and expressive, and the two young people come across as ambiguously gendered to my eyes. The text eventually identifies them both as male. The story has its spooky moments, but the story ending is happy for them both.

The author’s note at the end talks about wanting LGBTQ+ stories that end happily, so they wrote and drew the story they wanted to see.

Highly recommended!
