What is Mrs. Gaddy and the Ghost about?

Mrs Gaddy lives happily on her farm, except for one noisy problem: a ghost haunting her kitchen. Determined to get a good night's sleep, she tries sweeping it away, spraying it with bug spray, trapping it in a butter churn and even setting a fire in the oven. Nothing works. At last, Mrs Gaddy discovers that the ghost may not be frightening after all. When she learns why it wants to stay, her troublesome visitor becomes an unexpected and welcome companion.
