What is Emily Brown and the Not-Very-Spooky Halloween about?

Emily Brown and her rabbit, Stanley, are getting ready for Halloween when they hear a tiny “BOO!” from beneath the sink. There they find a sweet little ghost who is sad because he is not very spooky—and is much more frightened than frightening. Emily and Stanley set out to help their new friend find his courage and discover his special kind of spookiness. A gentle, funny Halloween adventure about friendship, bravery and being yourself.
