Ghoul school had me right from the ebginning where Bea A. Fraid says that she learns how to scare others at her all-ghoul school. Sort of a Monsters University. It is twistily funny where she is humorous and that creeps others. I loved the detail of the headmistress earrings being a skull.
Bea's last name and the whole setting of the school is creative. You can never be too cool for this all-ghoul school.

Bea A. Fraid is a young ghoul who does not fit in at her school. Everyone else is trying to be scary, she is trying to be funny. At a Ghoul School, it turns out that being funny is actually scary to everyone else. The jokes are very corny, but my grandson loved them, especially the booger one. He is only four so did not get the message of being yourself and not trying to be like everyone else, but he still enjoyed the story and the illustrations. The illustrations are large, colourful and not scary at all. This would be a great Hallowe'en story as well as one when teaching about being true to yourself and that it is okay to be different. A great addition to a school or class library.

Ghoul School is a fun story about Bea A. Fraid who doesn't want to be scary. The monsters are playful looking and not scary. There is a lot of word play and jokes and fun (not scary) spooky references. It is cleverly written and will definitely appeal to the 8 and under age group. My 6 and 8-year-olds loved it as a read aloud and were repeating the jokes all afternoon. I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you to #NetGalley for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fun book all about scary and funny. Bea A. Fraid is not your typical ghoul. She prefers to make people laugh, but to many, funny is scarry. It’s not normal at her school. It’s Scary. This book has a way with puns and word play that was refreshing and fun to read.

I was rather surprised by Ghoul School. It tells the story of a monster who wishes to be take a different path in life. Rather than be scary of frightening she prefers to make people laugh. It looks like her jokes do scare some of her classmates and teachers though. This was a funny story and delivered a wonderful message which is that is it alright to be different. In the end, this could be the very thing that makes you special.

Sweet, funny and very entertaining. Also, amazing illustrations. Such a good book for the kids to read on Halloween!

Ok, it's a tad too silly for me, but littles up to maybe 9 will love this story! Bea can't be scary like her school mates, she wants to be funny! But funny is scaring them! Story is loaded with silly jokes and puns young kids are going to find hilarious! More mature kids aren't going to see it. It's just a fun fun story about being yourself and accepting everyone for who they are and being friends. It's just fun.
