My Aunt is a Monster Review

My Aunt is a Monster by Reimena Yee is a graphic novel of a blind girl named Safia who loves storytelling. She lost her parents and is sent to live with a mysterious aunt. Aunt Whimsy used to be a famous explorer and archeologist, but went into hiding several years earlier and was presumed dead. She also may or may not be a big furry monster (well, I know the answer because I read it). 

One day Aunt Whimsy finds out an old rival of hers named Cecilia "discovered" part of an ancient kingdom that Aunt Whimsy and her nanny, Cathryn, actually discovered a long time ago. Hoping to stop her rival from taking all the credit (and to stop them from encountering something dangerous at the kingdom's ruins), Aunt Whimsy, Cathryn, and Safia go on a trip. Safia decides to record a story of her travels.

While on a ship, Safia runs into a girl named Hebe who is also interested in discovering new and lost things. They get along well at first, but Hebe and her two cousins seem to have ulterior motives of their own...

This was a really cool book! It was very heartwarming, and had great representation, too.

I am giving it 4 stars though, because I have to admit, the story was a teensy bit confusing sometimes (the comic layout was a little messy at times). I also think the ending felt a little incomplete--maybe there will be a sequel?
