Vogelein Old Ghosts by Jane Irwin

Vogelein Old Ghosts by Jane Irwin is the second book in the Vogelein series. Although Vogelein is a fairy dependent on guardians for her life and care, she is strong and kind. Long after her guardians have passed from her life for one reason or another Vogelein continues to remember each one. In this one "old ghosts" cause Vogelein day and nightly insomnia. Who of us hasn't wondered whether we have done all we could for a dear friend, a friend who always thought of our well being first before their welfare. This is a wonderful Young Adult Graphic comic. There are so many important issues in the book. To me, learning about the life of the Romana really gave the book depth. This group of people, along with other groups of people, have grappled with many stereotypes. Usually, stereotypes grow where there is a lack of basic facts. I think we use stereotypes to cover our lack of knowledge. Jane Irwin really has written a good book. Vogelein has become my friend.
