Aggie and the Ghost

A LitHub Most Anticipated Children’s Book of 2025 “This might be a perfect picture book.” —Quill & Quire (starred review) “ A solitary child and her rule-breaking ghost roommate learn the value of compromise in this cheeky picture book. —Shelf Awareness (starred review) “A book that captures the dance of unlikely bonds and a way to move from a place of acceptance.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) From Matthew Forsythe, the creator of the acclaimed and beloved Pokko and the Drum, comes a “subtle; sweet” (Booklist, starred review) picture book about rules. And sharing. And an epic game of tic-tac-toe. Aggie is very excited to live on her own—until she finds out her new house is haunted. But no fear, the situation is nothing that can’t be fixed with a carefully considered list of rules: No haunting after dark. No stealing socks. No eating all the food. But the ghost doesn’t like playing by the rules and challenges Aggie to an epic game of tic-tac-toe—winner gets the house.
