The Haunted Library meets Casper the Friendly Ghost in this faboolous second book of a highly illustrated chapter book series about friendship and belonging—perfect for early, emerging, and reluctant readers.

It’s summertime in Smithville, and camping in the great outdoors with his BFF Tate is Ghostie’s idea of a dream come true. But when their summer camp counselor gathers everyone around the campfire for scary ghost stories, he makes everybody—including Tate—afraid of GHOSTS!  To make matters worse, Ghostie’s parents get called on to run the camp after the counselor catches the flu.

Ghostie’s dream come true has suddenly become a nightmare. Is his friendship with Tate over? And how will two ghosts run a camp full of kids who are terrified of them?

With charming full-color art throughout, this second book in the Only Ghost chapter book series highlights that the only way to find true belonging is to accept ourselves and celebrate the differences that we see in each other.
