This is a sweet story perfect for kids. It's unique and I really enjoyed this, even as an adult. I would recommend this! Special Thank You to Brooke Carter, Alyssa Waterbury, Orca Book Publishing, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the narrative of this book! Seeing queer characters simply existing without it being a sticking point, especially in a book for younger audiences, warmed my queer inner child. I would gladly recommend this book or purchase it for a younger person in my life that wants a fun read!

I thought Ghost Girl was so cute. A fun little read for fall/Halloween/Samhain. It’s not too scary which is great for elementary aged children. As someone who grew up on movies like Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus, I loved the witchy elements. Our main character Sly is nonbinary. I felt the story allowed for a soft introduction to using they/them pronouns without going into much detail on the topic. I loved the illustrations! I wished there were even more. At first, I was sad the inside illustrations weren’t in color like the cover, but this is a very common thing when it’s not a picture book. Definitely recommend this book if you have children or enjoy children’s books.

well this was super cute! a bit of magical, scary mystery that honestly had even me, as an adult, entertained. and an overflow of familial love! could have been a little longer maybe, a little richer & more fleshed out, but i'm not exactly complaining.
an amazing part is how sly is nonbinary, but no one ever mentions it, apart from always using correct pronouns & sly giving us some comments abt how accepting their parents have been through their journey
