I love the Barnett/Robinson duo! In Leo we meet our protaganist, a sweet little ghost who would like to make a friend, despite the fact that no one can see him. Or can they? When Leo meets Jane, she soon puts him to work as her very own imaginary friend. The friendship is real, however, and Leo learns a good lesson in acceptance. This book is a sweet alternative to the scary tendencies of ghosts and Halloween. Highly recommended!

We’re in love with Leo, too! Check out the charmingly retro illustrations and the read-aloud appeal at Mockingbird Books and other independent bookstores.
