What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Bestselling children’s picture book, from award-winning author-illustrator Guido Van Genechten! Perfect for Halloween storytime or any other time! “A little ghost unapologetically makes the most of being different….Different never looked so appealing. “ - Kirkus Reviews “A sweet story about outsider friendship that is just slightly scary in places…. it’s hard not to be charmed by van Genechten’s smiley, rosy-cheeked ghosts, who could give Casper a run for his money in the cuteness department” - Publisher’s Weekly Gilbert goes to ghost school like all the other ghosts, but he’s a special ghost: he doesn’t like to screech in a scary way, he doesn’t want to haunt and was always polite. What will happen to Gilbert when he’s sent by the principal of school to the Abandoned Tower? A warmhearted picture book by bestselling author-illustrator Guido Van Genechten about a different, special ghost. For quiet, and not so quiet, children ages 4 and up.
