Read this book in one sitting. Great for kids who like David Walliams. Have not counted how many times the word poo was used but it must be dozens. The word fart features heavily too. Not great literature but a funny heartfelt story for kids who will probably roar with laughter.

Another great, fun story by Dam Copeland.
Greta lives in an unusual house, with her Mum, dad, brother, Grandma and a few ghosts. She is scared to leave the house following an accident and builds a rapport with the ghosts in the house, one of whom is the narrator.
A lovely story, great for reading aloud with a class of children, full of warmth and humour.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND THE PUBLISHER FOR THIS REVIEW COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.

Greta lives with her grandma, parents, younger brother, and a few ghosts. Her Mother is yoga obsessed and her father tries his hand on poetry. Younger brother is too young to talk and anyways he is always busy playing with lorries. Naturally, Grandma is Greta's best friend. But she talks to the ghost of grandpa and Greta's parents want her to send her to an old home. Greta also used to think that grandma is losing marbles until one day Greta was hit by a vehicle and after that accident now she can also see the ghosts. Her parents are more than sure that Grandma is a bad influence on their daughter.

I love the writing style and narration. The illustration was so cute. The character building, humor, pace, and flow of the plot were perfect. I like the way all characters were so different and showed character growth throughout the story. Greta and her dynamics with all the ghosts were so good and made me laugh many times. If you want to read a feel-good book this one is for you.
