The first in a new chapter book series starring a little zombie on a quest tomake friends. Full color.
Ghoulia lives in Crumbling Manor with her Auntie Departed and spends most of her time playing with Tragedy, her beloved albino greyhound.
But things aren't as easy as they seem for this little zombie girl—all she wants is a real friend. She tries to venture past the manor's walls, but she can't hide her pale green skin or the deep purple circles under her eyes. The other children will be afraid of her, and no one will want to be her friend.
But when Halloween rolls around, Ghoulia hatches a brilliant plan. All the other, ordinary children will be dressed up like monsters, so Ghoulia can go out into the town and be entirely herself. In the end, all the kids realise that Ghoulia is (almost) just like them and learn that friendship can come in many forms.
