This book was a bit hard to follow, but it was about the ghost of a kid trying to make it around. It was still a fun read though, but not my top pick. ( )

This is a sweet book about a ghost with some self-respect. Solid illustrations, and an all around good-hearted story. ( )

A lifeless story about the ghost of a child who gets evicted from his house and then confused for an imaginary friend. The plot lost me when a burglar was tossed in from nowhere to create some artificial action, drama, and resolution. Hackneyed. ( )

Mac Barnett and Christian Robinson are popular all on their own. I can tell who the illustrator is without having to look at the name. Robinson has such a distinct artistic style, with this book utilizing vintage style cut out illustrations-a ghostly feel. Blue hued palette choice. Certainly a different take on ghost stories and imaginary friend stories. Barnett and Robinson work well together in this sweet tale of friendship and imagination. ( )
