Summary

Inspired by real-life experience, Alex Krokus's graphic novel is a heartfelt and humorous story of losing a parent and getting to know him better after his passing. Set over the course of a single year, this book follows Alex and his father's ghost as they stroll along winter beaches and camp in rattlesnake-infested deserts. With help from his mom, his brother, a whole cast of extended family members, and, of course, the ghost himself, Alex tries to make sense of his grief and put the extra time with his father to good use--one philosophical wrestling match at a time.
