Praise

“No macabre vibes here, just some supernatural fun…. A solid, spooky tale, with vintage-quality illustrations.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Ghostly shenanigans take center stage in this graphic novel…which also offers an intriguing picture of a sibling relationship—low-key in its expression but deep in its connection.” —Publishers Weekly

“This story combines the apprehension of moving to a new town, the determination of one sibling to help another, the spine-tingling fear of a haunted house, and the cunning of a resolute cat—all in one brief, absorbing graphic novel… The cartooning is fast paced and easy to follow, with just enough text bubbles to establish context and communicate the hilarious and all-knowing motivations of Frankie (who steals the show). The use of bright colors on every page and in many panels’ onomatopoeia (to express the spooky sounds) makes the “scary” parts still whimsical and entertaining. Plus, readers will love being let in on the big secret of the story, known only to them and Frankie.” –The Horn Book
