Peter Cadaver by Stan Yan

Panel 1: Peter and Patty Cadaver wait for the school bus. Terry the Tapeworm is sticking out of Patty's face as she pets him. Peter asks Patty "You're taking him to school with you?" Patty replies, "How else is he going to get lunch in the middle of the day?" Terry adds, "Having a pet IS a big responsibility."

Panel 2: Peter asks Patty, "Won't you be embarrassed if someone sees him?" Terry looks indignant, "Why would ANYONE be embarrassed by ME?" Peter responds, "Because parasites are gross."

Panel 3: Close up on Terry the Tapeworm who happily explains, "GROSS? I'm amazing! Did you know I can have babies all on my own by laying eggs that my host will poop out?"

Panel 4: "Ugh!" both Peter and Patty looked disgusted at Terry the Tapeworm, who is shocked by their responses. Terry says, "What's wrong with you two? Babies are CUTE!"

Loved this Book!
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2026
Format: Paperback
Can we start with the gorgeous, vibrant artwork? This books is beautiful. But it's also a funny, spooky, touching story about a 13 year old girl who is testing boundaries and asserting her independence, all while being haunted by vivid dark dreams originating from a bonk to the head. I love funny, bright, sharp female protagonists, and this book did not disappoint!

It seems capitalism leads to concentration of wealth by those who love wars, hate environmental protections, and sow division so they can buy elections. Capitalism and democracy don't seem to be synonymous. #apocalypse #latestagecapitalism

“Stan Yan did such an amazing job capturing the awkwardness and fun of being a preteen. I loved the way the illustration colors contrasted between Eugenia dreaming and reality. I also enjoyed how Eugenia and her mother evolved in their relationship. This is definitely a graphic novel we will be reading again and again.”

Panel 1: Caption: Broom flying class. A bunch of witch students happily stand in the field outside of the school along with a concerned-looking Peter. Brooms sit at the feed of each student. An off-panel teacher says, "Class first we levitate our brooms up to our hands."

Panel 2: All of the witch students happily grab their levitating brooms. Peter's broom still sits at his feet. He blushes, realizing he's the only one.

Panel 3: Peter screws up his face and loosens the stitches connecting his hand to his arm, and his hand descends to grab the broom. Sound effects: "Pluck" and "Pop"

Panel 4: Peter happily pulls the stitches to retract and reconnect his hand to his arm. Sound effect: "ziiiiiiiiiiiiip."
