A home for fantastical housemates

Julia arrives in a walking house and finds her new neighborhood too quiet, so she opens her home to lost creatures. Goblins, mermaids, fairies, and a dragon soon fill the rooms, shifting the story from solitude to the everyday challenge of sharing space. The picture-book premise brings together a roaming house, a welcoming refuge, and a lively group of fantasy beings, with household behavior becoming the central source of trouble. Ben Hatke’s watercolor illustrations are described in the source as detailed and immersive, complementing the simple text.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy fantasy picture books

Book overview

When Julia and her walking house come to town, she likes everything about her new neighborhood except how quiet it is! So Julia puts a sign up: "Julia's House for Lost Creatures." Soon she's hosting goblins, mermaids, fairies, and even a dragon. Quiet isn't a problem anymore for Julia...but getting her housemates to behave themselves is!

The simple, sweet text of this picture book by New York Times Best-Selling Zita the Spacegirl author/illustrator Ben Hatke is perfectly balanced by his lush, detailed, immersive watercolor illustrations.
