House has a problem.
She’s a little spooky. She’s a little cobwebby. Oh, no! What if she’s haunted?
She’s not sure, but…her hinges creak. Her pipes bang. And on windy days, the branches scritch-scratch at her windows. She tries to hold her breath and be as still as possible. If she’s on her best behavior, maybe a family will move in.
How will House ever find a family that doesn’t mind being haunted?
Why I like this book: Hardly Haunted captures the essence of Halloween without relying on typical themes. It’s a “spooky” story without being scary and dives into the topic of finding your people, even if you’re a worried haunted house.
