Description
A charming and humorous tale about a new girl who is determined to stand out at show-and-tell... by catching a ghost!
''Hauntingly good -- quirky, amusing, and deeply felt.'' --Kirkus Reviews
Bringing nothing to show and tell is like wearing shoes without socks.
It stinks.
So, when all you got is nothing, you need to catch yourself a something.
And if you've got gumption, that something could be a ghost.
Show-and-tell isn't for the faint of heart, so grab your camera, flashlight, and backpack -- it's time to catch yourself a ghost! Once you find a good one, spend some quality time together. This will provide all the information you need to build the perfect ghost trap. It will also probably complicate things. So, when the moment finally arrives, you may be confident you can catch a ghost...but can you catch a friend?
A ghostly good tale about the high stakes of show-and-tell, unexpected friendships, and accepting the unknown -- brought to life with Rachel Michelle Wilson's playful and heartfelt illustrations.

Praise for To Catch a Ghost:
''The interplay of tightly crafted text and emotionally expressive illustrations, reminiscent of chalk drawings, results in a book that never wastes a word yet brims with layers of personality, tenderness, and humor... Hauntingly good -- quirky, amusing, and deeply felt.'' -- Kirkus Reviews
''Written in second-person and illustrated with bold linework and a soft retro palette in a 1970s vibe, this is a tale sure to surprise and -delight... This story of unexpected friendship is sure to -appeal to younger readers.'' -- School Library Journal (starred review)
