Tessa Woodward is moving from Sunny Florida to... Chicago. Cold, damp, rainy, Windy, Chicago. She is with her Dad who just took a job with the Chicago Symphony, her mom a water-colorist who has always done beachy-type landscapes inspired by her Florida surroundings, and her little brother who is really into ventriloquism just at the moment.
As if a new town, and a new school, with new kids, her own best friend back home in wonderful Florida isn't bad enough, Tessa is haunted in their new house by a spirit that draws in her sketchbook while Tessa sleeps.
At its heart, this is a story about a move and a ghost, and making friends in a new place. Reading this book right before my own major move helped me prepare and calm my nerves. Even if you aren't planning to move any time soon, our ghost is spooky enough your youngsters might like it for a bedtime tale. Narrated by Heather Wynn, Youtube's Calluna, the audio is worth checking out.
⭐⭐⭐3/5
