She Wanted to Be Haunted
This delightfully spooky picture book answers the important question of how you can be your very best self.
If only I were haunted-I'd never be alone!
But look at me: I'm cheerful!
I've got to change my tone!
Clarissa the cottage is adorable . . . bright pink, with windows that wink, and flowers growing all around. But Clarissa doesn't want to be adorable--being cute is boring.
Couldn't she be like her father, a creepy castle home to vampires and crypts? Or like her mother, a witch's hut full of spells and smells? If only she were haunted! Then she'd be less ordinary . . .
What will it take for Clarissa to go from adorable to horrible?
