No Such Thing

(3) K-3 When Georgia notices weird things happening in her house at the end of October, she looks for logical explanations for the phenomena. The dog stole food from the fridge; the cat knocked over a vase; Georgia's sibling made off with her art supplies. It all makes sense, except for the well-hidden ghosts at the scene of each mishap. Georgia insists that there's no such thing as ghosts, but the stylish, detailed illustrations in a muted palette tell a different story. The house's comfortably cluttered interior offers the right setting for the "kooky" goings-on. The rhyming text plays it straight, letting the art provide the tricks and treats.
