About this ebook

Layla is a ghost and ghosts are supposed to be scary. They’re supposed to haunt castles and shout BOOO!

But Layla would much rather play with her friends.

When Halloween approaches, she needs to decide whether she’s going to be a proper ghost or if there’s another way. One that doesn’t involve being scary.

A picture book about a little ghost trying to figure out what’s right, a great read not just for Halloween.

Also available as paperback, hardcover and audiobook.

Ratings and reviews

A cute sweet little story that you could read to your little ones. Lots of wonderful illustrations that they will enjoy looking at. Of course for the sake of the illustrations I recommend using a tablet or something with a much larger screen than my little phone I read it on so they can see the whole picture without scrolling about lol But I think little ones will love it, not in any way scary at all. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

My kids (7) enjoyed this story. It really is such a good story for the kiddos. My daughter especially loved it because she’s a sweetheart like Laila the ghost. Will look for move books from the author. I would also highly recommend picking up the audiobook. The narrator is great and we loved listening to the animals making noises and the background music. LOVE it.

The graphics in this story are simply beautiful - I loved black backgrounds and white/colour drawings. I loved the wise old owl’s advice in the story: you don’t have to conform, just like Layla the ghost, you can choose to act how you wish and be happy with your choices. My little guy really liked the story - another family favourite!
