In this tender and restrained story of moving on after loss, a young boy states matter-of-factly that there's a ghost in his house; he suspects it's his beloved cat. The ghost isn't frightening and even brings comfort as the boy can feel the spectral feline curled up on his bed. Atteberry keeps the spreads unfussy--the focus is always on the boy and cat--and even the palette is spare.
