(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli. Like houses, books can be haunted. A round-headed boy, shadowed by a nonthreatening wispy ghost, offers advice on handling book ghosts who meddle with stories, scramble the words, and suck readers into the pages if precautions aren't followed. Digitally manipulated Plasticine models in atmospheric acrylics and a pop-up surprise at the end are the highlights of this plot-thin book.
