Bookroo's summary

Bash, a young ghost, faces his fears at Scare School, where mastering ghostly skills is a must. With his sister Bella's stellar reputation looming over him, Bash worries about invisibility and wall-passing. Can he survive the tough curriculum, or will he be sent packing? Discover if Bash can overcome his ghostly challenges and find his place among the ghouls.

From the publisher

A young ghost tries his best to fit in with the rest of the ghouls in this sweet and spooky chapter book by acclaimed author Jarrett Lerner. Bash, a young ghost who’s never been good at “ghost stuff” is heading off to Scare School, the world’s leading institution for elementary scare instruction, and he’s not happy about it. In fact, he’s kind of scared! His older sister Bella, precocious in every way, was a star student there and he knows the classes are hard and the teachers are tough. Even before his first day of school, Bash is worried about how he’s going to make it through the rigorous curriculum when he hasn’t been able to get the hang of basics like making himself invisible or passing through walls (without bonking his head!). Will the young ghost get booooted out of Scare School?
