Bookroo's summary

Goodie, a ghoul with a heart, defies his kind's rules by seeking friendship with humans. When he stumbles upon two children in a corn maze, his world turns upside down. Thrust into human life, complete with unexpected baths and family dynamics, Goodie faces a choice: adhere to ghoul traditions or embrace a new path. Can he find a place where he truly belongs, or will his quest for friendship lead to unforeseen challenges? Join Goodie on a whimsical journey of self-discovery and belonging, where laughter and surprises await at every turn.

From the publisher

Goodie is not like other ghouls. He doesn’t want to eat humans; he wants to befriend them. But the other ghouls don’t understand. After all, Goodie is breaking one of the most important rules in the Rules for Ghouls Handbook: Don’t play with your food!One day while practicing his shape-shifting in a corn maze, Goodie runs into two children and ends up on a wild ride into the human world, complete with a mom, and something Goodie has never heard of: a bath! Things get off to a rocky start, but eventually, Goodie finds something he never expected: a new home. A silly yet tender story about friendship, belonging, and the power of being yourself, Goodie the Ghoul is sure to have the whole family in fits of ghoulish giggles.
