About this title

Review:

"Several moments border on frightening, but this is ultimately a tender look at love's never-ending reach." --Booklist

"On Halloween night the ghost of a little boy's dog returns to help him combat some bossy skeletons. It's by turns spooky and heartwarming." --People

"...dog lovers will likely delight in this quiet story of a dog's devotion even beyond the grave." --BCCB

"Sometimes scary, often funny and ultimately heartwarming, Rohmann's tale successfully balances a tight text full of tough emotions with clear images of an everlasting friendship." --Kirkus STARRED

"Sad, spooky, and comforting by turns, this deceptively simple approach to the loss of a pet quickens and gladdens the heart." --School Library Journal

"It's an offbeat mixture of humor and sadness...Some may find the sight of Ella as a skeleton off-putting; others will find comfort in the idea that a dog's loyalty transcends death." --Publishers Weekly
