Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read a digital copy of this book in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.Meet Greg, a teenage boy with a lot of weight on his shoulders. When family and friend issues get to be too much for him he confides in his new ghostly girlfriend, Eleanor. (I'm really loving the names for these characters!) The rest of the book is dedicated to solving his life issues and helping Eleanor out. Yup, I'm totally great at summarizing. A+.Any who, this graphic nov...

Cute little ghost-y magic story. I really liked the emotional bits (new mom's, dating best friends, etc.) and the magic explanations were quite unique. The only thing I didn't particularly like was the narration shenanigans, it's kind cute but also a bit confusing in this format. Cute art styles though! Generally just cute all around!

MehNot great but not terrible either.

Cast No Shadow is about a young teen struggling to deal with his mother's death and his dad's new girlfriend. So many things in his life keep changing, and he can't handle the turmoil until he meets a ghosts that helps teach him some lessons about moving on. And helps him battle his evil shadow that is hellbent on destroying the town. It's a simple story, but great for younger readers. The art is quite stylised with fantastic backgrounds. The characters are expressive and a good representation o...

Eek! I found this book to be both boring and horrifying.GR reviewer Liz writes, "the dialogue is cringey af, couldn't finish". Yep. Well, I mean, I did finish it. And kind of wish I hadn't. But, I did. (Liz's review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...)The characters are meh. Three white protagonists. Greg, the sulky hero, whose shadow is missing and who can therefore see ghosts. Or at least one ghost. Eleanor. A white ghost girl who had been haunting a local house for quite a few years and

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. They have it geared toward YA but I’d hand this to as young as 10 or 11. Twice that I recall they did use the phrase “this sucks” but that’s it. It’s not even scary.

Greg is new to Lancaster, but he can already tell things aren't all right in this quiet, gloomy little town. When Greg finds a creepy abandoned house in the center of town, he thinks maybe he's getting closer to Lancaster's secret. But the ghost of a beautiful teenage girl haunting the house is more than Greg bargained for. Before he knows it, Greg's in love . . . with a dead girl.

I loved this! The art is super cute and aesthetically pleasing, the characters are a lot of fun (I love Layla okay), the dialogue was amusing... Honestly, it reminded me in some ways of Gravity Falls (and as far as I'm concerned, my suspicions about the show's influence on this were confirmed as soon as I spotted that mysterious triangle doodle on page 153...), but it completely felt like its own thing, too. There was... Pretty much nothing I disliked about this, actually?? Really enjoyed it.

Cast No Shadow, written by Nick Tapalansky and illustrated by Anissa Espinosa, is about a young teen, Greg, struggling to deal with his mother's death and his dad's new girlfriend. He also has no shadow, and falls in love with a ghost, Eleanor, and believe it or not, these two facts require connecting for the plot to resolve. There is a shadow, as it turns out, disconnected from him (right, as in Peter Pan!), but this shadow happens to be evil, an expression of Greg’s darkest desires. So what se...

This was a very sweet graphic novel. On one hand, the plot was instantly familiar--a boy, Greg, who's a little scared of the changes that are happening in his life (dad's new girlfriend, best friend's new boyfriend) deals with that fear through anger and frustration. Despite Greg's relationship with ghost girl Eleanor, I felt like I knew where the story was headed from pretty much page 1. However, even though the overall emotional arc of Greg coming to terms with and accepting change was expecte...

Kid who doesn't cast a shadow is the only one who can see ghost-girl. Solid middle school graphic novel (though may not make my booktalk list in this crowded year of fantastic middle school GNs). Wish it had been in color.Cute/creepy, could be a decent pick for Coraline-lovers.Read with Anya's Ghost, Friends with Boys, The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo, and Nightlights, just for starters.

Cast No Shadow brings together an array of delightful characters and is full of adorable artwork. This is a light, fun, easy read that I do recommend to anyone looking for a graphic novel to giggle and squeal over!

Cute cute cute. Love these oneshots. Very much reminiscent of Friends With Boys.

I didn't know anything about this book when it came across my desk. I opened it, and was immediately drawn in. (get it? drawn in?) Seriously though, this was a good story and the illustrations were good.

I am incredibly disappointed with this graphic novel. All of the top reviews made it seem like a cute little romance story about a boy with no shadow who falls in love with a ghost girl. However, the writing was sub-par, the characters were poorly developed, and to top it all off, it had an incredibly problematic twist. I've yet to see a review comment on the fact that the house was haunted because it was "built on an Indian burial ground." This was published in 2017 -- why is that line even in

So many issues to deal with in this book! Death of parent! Bullying! Haunted house! Hokey town attractions! Friendship fumbles! Where to start discussing it all?The art is simple and clean and attractive; the storyline is a bit muddled (done that way on purpose, I think, to add to the mystery) and resolves quickly. Too quickly? Heads up: cartoon-style violence; ghosts; spirits; disrespect to parents; destruction of property; lying; ouija boards, seances, and other supernatural elements touched o...

This graphic novel hits all the adolescent pangs without being saccharine and predictable. The illustrations are at once simple and expressive, and the story and dialogue are touching and funny.

this was a pretty cute but cheesy story. it involves ghosts which is a complete buzzword for me. if it’s got ghosts in it, i’m pretty much sold on it. i liked the friendship and the family in this story. i thought the ending was bittersweet but some of the characters got on my nerves at times, though it didn’t ruin the story for me. overall, this was a fun and light graphic novel about a boy that fell in love with a ghost. it wasn’t a terrible read, but it also wasn’t a “knock-my-socks-off-amazi...

Cast No Shadow was a surprise graphic novel I received but it looked really cute and I couldn't help but read it right away. Of course, this was some time ago and I am only now getting around to writing the review for the book so forgive me.Greg has no shadow and is kind of an outcast. One day, he discovers a haunted mansion and ends up falling in love with the resident ghost. Obviously, things get a little complicated and there is some good angst going on there too.The graphic novel is as cute

I checked this book out from the library and finished it in an afternoon. I loved this book, it was so amazing to find a comic with such an interesting story and cute drawings (and I just love any story with ghosts incorporated into it :D). The writing was great and the pictures were beyond amazing, so all in all 10/10! I don’t understand why this book does not have more positive reviews, I personally loved it!
