AlbakiReads Editorial

A little girl faces the local Baddies

A ghost, a witch, and a troll take pride in being the meanest around, so a new arrival in a nearby cottage seems like an ideal target for their scares. But the little girl proves braver than they expect, setting up a playful clash between boastful spookiness and courage. This picture book pairs familiar fairy-tale creatures with a child who refuses to be easily frightened, and its humorous premise makes room for the possibility that the baddies might not get their way.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for children around ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books.
