A scraggly little spirit looking for friendship, and the perfect companion to match.
Pre-Reading Thoughts
Tiny Ghost is invisible and lonely, longing for a friend to play with. The premise is simple but full of heart, and I was curious to see how Feeney would handle a ghost who’s mischievous without being scary.
Post-Reading
As I thought…
The story is sweet and playful. Tiny Ghost’s attempts to scare are innocent and funny, perfectly reflecting the way children test boundaries without meaning harm.
It surprised me by…
The clever little touches in the illustrations. Feeney’s scribbly, almost scrawled style is delightfully clear, capturing movement and personality perfectly. I also loved the sneaky reference to the “Ring Around the Rosies” lore - subtle enough for adults to notice, but never intrusive. The ending is quietly satisfying, leaving a warm feeling without over-explaining.
