Reach for this book when your child is curious about spooky things but easily overwhelmed by scary stories. It is a perfect bridge for early readers who love a good mystery and want to explore the concept of ghosts in a safe, lighthearted way. The story follows Kaz, a young ghost, and his human friend Claire as they investigate a haunting that is preventing a family from selling their home. While the book touches on themes of belonging and the search for family, it remains firmly rooted in teamwork and logical problem-solving. It is an excellent choice for kids who enjoy 'detective' style narratives where clues are pieced together. Parents will appreciate how the story demystifies the 'scary' elements of hauntings by showing there is often a misunderstanding or a friendly face behind the bumps in the night.
