(W) J. Torres (A) Elbert Or J. Torres and Elbert Or celebrate 10 years of Lola: A Ghost Story, the critically-acclaimed graphic novel that explores family, grief and Filipino folklore in an all-new edition that includes a revised ending and updated illustrations. Jesse didn't really know his Lola (the Tagalog word for grandmother), but he remembers that she tried to drown him as a baby. Strange stories surround Lola: she had visions, she fought off monsters straight out of Filipino folklore, and, according to some, she may have even seen ghosts. Now Jesse is struggling with the same visions Lola had, but Lola's not around anymore, and the rest of his family are too tied up in their own personal demons to help. Personal demons that Lola might have helped with, if she were still alive. As Jesse explores his new abilities, he realizes that he might be the one who needs to step into that role-and that helping others might just help him, too.

Jesse sees dead people, monsters, and demons that nobody else sees except his ailing grandmother - a woman who used her visions to help those in the Philippine countryside. Upon her death, Jesse has no choice but to face his demons and whatever else might be awaiting him at grandma's house.
