What is the author's position in the book "Ghost" by Raina Telgemeier?

rom a storytelling point of view, I absolutely understand why Raina Telgemeier chose this tradition to tell this story. And as I read it, it seemed like there was nothing but respect for the culture and traditions being discussed. Catrina, who is half Mexican, is skeptical, in part because she didn’t grow up with these traditions being passed down to her, but I don’t think skepticism is in itself disrespect. Many tweens and teens are skeptical, even of deeply held family beliefs and traditions. Catrina’s skepticism and lack of knowledge is balanced by other characters.

But is the depiction of Dia De Los Muertos an accurate and respectful presentation? Reading Ghosts, it is hard to tell exactly what it is people believe happen on this day. In the book, literal spirits cross into the human world and are able to interact with people, even touching them physically. They dance, they play in bands, they cook feasts. I personally do not believe in ghosts, but I know plenty of people who do. But what do people believe happen on this day? It was hard for me as a reader to know if this was just a storytelling device or a real life interpretation of Dia De Los Muertos and what its adherents believe happen on this day. There is some end matter on the topic, but to me it did not seem in depth enough to communicate with readers what the real beliefs and intents of this day are. I do think Telgemeier needed to do a better job of making sure readers understood what was real and what was creative license used for the story.
