Description
Can you find the ghosts in this spookily sweet search-and-find picture book?
When a little child is told there's no such thing as ghosts, they don’t believe it for a second. Ghosts must exist – after all, they’re always in books and films! But if they’ve got any chance of proving that ghosts are real, this kid needs proof! And so, starts a wonderful journey.
Do ghosts exist? If you look closely enough, you might just see one go ‘Boo!’
There’s No Such Thing As Ghosts by Lucy Rowland invites readers on an enchanting adventure to discover the truth about ghosts.
