Ghoulia: Making New Friends Can Be Scary (Book #1)

Ghoulia: Making New Friends Can Be Scary is the first book in this popular full-color chapter book series, a great fit for fans of Netflix’s Wednesday and all readers who enjoy a mix of humor, adventure, and a touch of the macabre!

Ghoulia is a typical little girl .who happens to be a zombie. She lives in Crumbling Manor with her Auntie Departed and albino greyhound named Tragedy.

In search of a real friend, Ghoulia 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 realize that Ghoulia is (almost) just like them and learn that friendship can come in many forms.

“Cantini depicts her undead urchin Tim Burton-style, with stitched lips, gray skin, and purple shadows beneath huge eyeballs. The manorial setting has an Addams Family vibe and provides just the right spooky setting for this series opener.” (Kirkus)

Perfect for ages 6-8, reluctant readers, and fans of Wednesday and The Addams Family, this Halloween-themed series combines a love for the spooky with lessons about acceptance and courage. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Ghoulia's world, this collection is a must-have for any young reader's library.
