About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is processing the loss of a pet but feels overwhelmed by heavy or somber conversations. It is a perfect choice for kids who use humor as a coping mechanism or who are fascinated by the spooky and supernatural. This story follows Joe, a boy who can see the ghosts of pets that have unfinished business. In this installment, he must help Petey the parakeet overcome a final hurdle to find peace. While the premise involves animal death, the tone is decidedly zany and lighthearted. It explores themes of responsibility, empathy, and the importance of helping others move on. Parents will appreciate how it frames 'goodbye' as a necessary and even positive step in a journey. It is ideally suited for independent readers aged 7 to 10 who enjoy slapstick comedy and fast-paced mysteries.
