“A fearful ghost, a take-charge girl, an interracial friendship, and
a tale in which fear is . . . sweetly tied to positive qualities of
imagination.” —The New York Times You would like being friends
with Leo. He likes to draw, he makes delicious snacks, and most people
can't even see him. Because Leo is also a ghost. When a new family
moves into his home and Leo's efforts to welcome them are
misunderstood, Leo decides it is time to leave and see the world. That
is how he meets Jane, a kid with a tremendous imagination and an open
position for a worthy knight. That is how Leo and Jane become friends.
And that is when their adventures begin. This charming tale of
friendship—from two of the best young minds in picture books: the
author of the Caldecott Honor–winning Extra Yarn and the illustrator
of the Bologna Ragazzi Award–winning Josephine—is destined to
become a modern classic that will delight readers for years to come.
