Reach for this book when your child starts hearing every bump in the night or insists there is a monster in the closet. It provides a lighthearted way to address nighttime anxieties without being dismissive or overly intense. Through the eyes of second-grader CatKid, children see their own fears reflected in a character who chooses action over avoidance. In this funny chapter book, CatKid is convinced her attic is haunted. Alongside her best friend Maddie, she transforms from a fearful child into a ghost-hunting investigator. The story emphasizes that being brave does not mean you are not scared: it means you keep going anyway. It is an ideal choice for emerging readers aged 6 to 9 who are ready for longer stories but still need relatable, everyday themes of friendship and family life.
