Aliza Layne
(Juvenile Graphic Novel - J-GN Layne Beetle And The Hollowbones)


12-year-old Beetle is a goblin who dreams of being a witch, but is dissatisfied with learning her grandmother's goblin magic. Instead, she prefers spending her afternoons with her friend, Blob Ghost, who is trapped in the local mall by an unknown force. When Beetle's old best friend, Kat Hollowbones, returns to town for a prestigious sorcery apprenticeship, Beetle finds herself jealous of Kat's talent—and feels something more than friendship toward her old friend. Will Beetle be able to make sense of these feelings while preventing a vile scheme from destroying Blob Ghost's home? Recommend for ages 9–12.
