BUYING ADVISORY: NOT RECOMMENDED
AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
The girl ghost is not happy with her new haunting assignment - the local school. Not because of the kids, but because of the mean ghoulmates who roam the halls and make fun of her robes that she inherited from her ghost ancestors. Is changing her outfit, forbidden by her ancestors, or changing her attitude the way to change her circumstances?
I was looking forward to a Halloween picture book, but translating the mean girl/fashion dilemma to ghosts didn’t work for me. There was no chill or thrill to it - just an awkward try at a familiar problem in a new setting. I do like Lui’s illustrative style.
