The Right One

Little ghost Roderic doesn't stand the ghost of a chance of getting noticed when his family all wear the same clothes. Can he cast off his ghoulish white sheet, throw caution to the wind, and dare to be different? Talented debut author and illustrator Violeta Noy introduces us a special little spectre in this funny and original picture book story about being yourself and standing out from the crowd. As you probably know already, all ghosts wear white sheets. That's just what ghosts do. White sheets are good for haunting people and they make the ghosts feel like part of one big family. But Roderic, the little ghost who worries that his family don't find him interesting enough to notice, wants to wear something different. He tries all sorts of things... a bag, a rug, a scarf, a boot. Can he find the right one? Blending vibrant, graphic illustrations in a rainbow array of colours with a funny and appealing story, Spanish-born Noy conveys her life messages with style and whimsy. The perfect Halloween read for all daring young adventurers! * Northern National Newspapers *
