Gardo the Ghost Crocodile
by Yuko Ohnari
Hina has just moved and doesn’t have any friends at school yet. One morning, while wondering how she can avoid school, she mistakes a tiny crocodile for her toothbrush. “Hey!” yells Gardo, before growing to Hina’s size. Thus starts Hina’s fantastical adventure with Gardo the ghost crocodile, who can only be seen by the lonely. Together, they navigate her new home and school and classmates, each step taking them towards the most bittersweet of partings.
