Can a ghost be an imaginary friend?  Leo is a kind ghost who loves to draw and make snacks.  When he is kicked out of his house,  he finds a girl named Jane who thinks that he is her imaginary friend.  Will Leo save the day when a thief breaks into Jane's house?

I enjoyed the message of this book.  We should try to notice and appreciate everyone.  The illustrations are a little rudimentary but that adds to the charm of the book.  The only colors you will find in the illustrations are blue, black and white.  This adds to the ghostly feel in the book.
