School Spirits by Charlotte Gunnufson and Rebecca Crane. PICTURE BOOK. Atheneum (Simon), 2026. $20. 9781665964517
BUYING ADVISORY: NOT RECOMMENDED
On the first day of school you worry about a lot of things, but not that school is haunted. When you find proof what should you do? Gather your friends and train the ghosts to be respectful and helpful.
I just don’t understand this book at all. Someone please explain. I don't know why you would worry that your school is haunted on a perfectly ordinary day, nor do I then understand how you and your friends are going to train the ghosts to keep things clean and play with all of the kids. The rhyming text, trying to make everything feel light and cherry doesn’t help either.
