K-Gr 3–Forsythe’s unique illustrations accompany a story about Aggie, who is excited to move into a new home that is all her own, only to find that she is roommates with a ghost who is not very good at listening. ­Aggie is quick to make sensible rules. Can they work together to set boundaries that work for everyone, or will the ghost need to find a new place to haunt? This book has breathtaking illustrations typical of the ­author’s work. The ghost is a boon companion and a wonderful representation of living with younger siblings who may not always like to follow the rules. Readers will relate to both characters: Aggie, who does not want her socks stolen, and the rule-disrupting ghost. This story is interspersed with humor; although it features a ghost and darker ­illustrations, it is not scary to younger audiences.
VERDICT A heartwarming read that will be requested on repeat in libraries.
