Description
*Published by our sister imprint, Beaming Books
"Heartwarming proof that friends can show up in unexpected places." —Kirkus Reviews
"A perennial ghost-next-door story that readers will enjoy any time they long for a bit of mystery." —School Library Journal
The ghost at 632 Savannah Street is real . . . right?
Gilbert often feels invisible, just like the ghost living at 632 Savannah Street. Despite his family's disbelief, Gilbert leaves gifts for the ghost: a friendship bracelet, a plate of cookies, even a drawing with a note. When each disappears one by one, Gilbert finds that believing and friendship are worth the effort.
For kids who might often feel unseen, Gilbert and the Ghost is a ghostly tale of overcoming obstacles and finding friendship in mysterious places. Gothic, whimsical illustrations make this picture book perfect for spooky season, while its earnest themes make it worth a read all year round.

This was fabulous! Gilbert is convinced a ghost lives at 632 Savannah St. When his friends and family don't believe him, he determines to befriend the ghost.
While not exactly spooky, Gilbert and the Ghost was a heart-warming story of friendship and belief in the unseen. A "ghost" story for the introverts!
This is a must-buy for any elementary school library and would be great to read in conjunction with The Invisible Boy by Patrice Barton
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!
