A ghost-town visit with a song at its heart

Two children explore a deserted mountain town, where empty storefronts, a boarded-up cabin, and their dog’s growing collection of bones build a playful spooky premise. The book riffs on “She’ll Be Comin’ ’Round the Mountain,” then extends the experience with back matter about ghost towns and the song’s history. Its blend of eerie scenery, comic mystery, and music gives the story a clear shape, while the additional information connects the fictional visit to real-world subjects.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in ghost stories and spooky settings.
  • Young readers who enjoy stories built around familiar songs.
  • Families seeking a picture book with informational back matter about ghost towns and song history.

Book overview

A hauntingly hilarious riff on the tune "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain."

It's a dark and gloomy night when two children decide to visit a ghost town. It's lonely. It's deserted. And it's certainly eerie. The main street is filled with tumbledown storefronts and there's not a soul in sight. But then the kids spot a boarded-up creaky, creepy cabin. Do they dare enter? What will they find? And what is with all those bones their dog is collecting?

Deliciously spooky, fun-filled artwork brings the story to ghostly life. Back matter includes information on ghost towns and the history of the song.
