She Wanted to Be Haunted

This delightfully spooky picture book answers the important question of how you can be your very best self.

If only I were haunted-I''d never be alone!
But look at me: I''m cheerful!
I''ve got to change my tone!

Clarissa the cottage is adorable . . . bright pink, with windows that wink, and flowers growing all around. But Clarissa doesn''t want to be adorable--being cute is boring.

Couldn''t she be like her father, a creepy castle home to vampires and crypts? Or like her mother, a witch''s hut full of spells and smells? If only she were haunted! Then she''d be less ordinary . . .

What will it take for Clarissa to go from adorable to horrible?
