NEW TALENT: With a current strip in the Sunday HaHa newsletter, and work featured in the New Yorker and Everyday Feminism, and as one-half of the comics podcast "Pop! Whiz! Bang!," Ramm continues to grow in the comics community with their bold but simple style.

First in a full-color graphic novel series for emerging readers about accepting yourself and others from up-and-coming author-illustrator Meggie Ramm, creator of the comic strip The Littlest Dungeon Guard and cohost of the Pop! Whiz! Bang! comics podcast.

Batcat loves being all alone in their home on Spooky Island. Up in their tree house, they pass the time playing video games and watching TV. But when Batcat suddenly finds themself haunted by an annoying, ice cream-stealing ghost, they visit the local Island Witch for a spell to remove their ghastly guest permanently!

With their Ghost-B-Gone spell in hand, Batcat travels across Spooky Island to gather ingredients--to the Cavernous Caves where the bats tell them they're too round to be a bat, and to the Whispering Cemetery where the cats will help only if they commit to being a true cat. But Batcat is neither and that's what makes them special, right?

From up-and-coming author Meggie Ramm comes a sweet and fun story about accepting yourself when you're perfectly in between here and there.
