Hardly Haunted

From the bestselling creator of Not Quite Narwhal comes a delightfully spooky story about an old house who wants to be a home...even if her new family isn't what she expected.

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?
