The Haunted Library meets Casper the Friendly Ghost in this hilarious first book of a highly illustrated chapter book series about finding friendship and being the new kid at school-perfect for early, emerging, and reluctant readers.

For Ghostie, life in Scareville is perfect. But everything changes when his parents announce that they're moving to Smithville.

Now Ghostie is the ONLY ghost at Smithville Elementary, and he is scaring his classmates just by existing. While his parents embrace their new human world, Ghostie feels more alone than ever. Will he be able to make friends and fit in?

With charming full-color art throughout, this first book in the Only Ghost chapter book series highlights how you can discover connections in differences and how you don't have to fit in to find belonging.
