Hart & Souls by Lisa Schmid

4.0

I love this book! "Hart & Souls" delves into themes of bullying, anxiety, and the challenges of middle school with the help of friendly ghosts. As a 7th-grade teacher, I think this would be perfect for a read-aloud at the beginning of the school year. Schmid's funny anecdotes and introspective voice will keep kids engaged, and the creative, relatable characters will make them laugh and empathize. Vazquez's vibrant illustrations add emotional depth and are a delightful addition to the story. This is a must-read for any kid seeking a fun ghost story with characters they can relate to!

Thanks to Lisa Schmid, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and NetGalley for the eARC. This book is scheduled for release on July 23rd, 2024.
