A LitHub Most Anticipated Children’s Book of 2025
\”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.
