A ghost’s first day at Scare School

Bash is a young ghost who struggles with the basics of being a ghost, and the prospect of Scare School—where his older sister excelled—only adds to his worry. The chapter-book setup turns familiar school pressures into spooky challenges: learning to fit in, facing demanding classes, and finding a way through skills that don’t come easily. Bash’s attempts at invisibility and passing through walls give the premise its monster-world detail, while the central question is whether he can make it at school.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy stories about monsters and ghosts.
  • Young readers interested in school stories about fitting in and tackling new challenges.
  • Families seeking an introductory spooky chapter book for children.

Book overview

A young ghost tries his best to fit in with the rest of the ghouls in this sweet and spooky chapter book by acclaimed author Jarrett Lerner.

Bash, a young ghost who's never been good at "ghost stuff" is heading off to Scare School, the world's leading institution for elementary scare instruction, and he's not happy about it. In fact, he's kind of scared! His older sister Bella, precocious in every way, was a star student there and he knows the classes are hard and the teachers are tough.

Even before his first day of school, Bash is worried about how he's going to make it through the rigorous curriculum when he hasn't been able to get the hang of basics like making himself invisible or passing through walls (without bonking his head!). Will the young ghost get booooted out of Scare School?
