Illustrated by Patricia Grace Claro

Publisher’s Book Summary: Goodie is not like other ghouls. He doesn’t want to eat humans; he wants to befriend them. But the other ghouls don’t understand. After all, Goodie is breaking one of the most important rules in the Rules for Ghouls Handbook: Don’t play with your food!
One day, while practicing his shape-shifting in a corn maze, Goodie runs into two children and ends up on a wild ride into the human world, complete with a mom and something Goodie has never heard of: a bath! Things get off to a rocky start, but eventually, Goodie finds something he never expected: a new home.
A silly yet tender story about friendship, belonging, and the power of being yourself, Goodie the Ghoul is sure to have the whole family in fits of ghoulish giggles.
Goodie the Ghoul is a funny, touching story about learning to find your place in the world.

It sounds like a fun read for my family.
I would like to win this for my grandaughter.
A good ghoul with good story to tell.
We are so ready for some adventure!
I would like to read this with my grandchildren. Sounds like a fun book.
cool
Not sure what mischief I would get up to, but I know it would involve my pals. All good trouble involves your pals, right?
Sounds like a funny story.
If I were a ghoul, I believe I would think it is funny to see what humans find scary, so I might go to a carnival or an amusement park and experience all of the scary, spooky, or spine-tingling entertainment they offer.
This would be a fun book for a Little Library.
Sounds like a fun book.
My niece teaches grade school and does her best to keep her classroom library stocked. I’d like to add this book to the shelf, if I win.
This book is silly with ghoulish giggles.
A truly silly book.
Wouldn’t it be fun to introduce a Ghoul to human humor? How about if Goodie went to the movies and watched The Muppets? Would he find that funny? Or would all that whimsy and delight be scary? I wonder…
A fun read for all ages.
If I were Goodie, I might go to school, hang out and see what it was like to be a “normal” kid–and then cause some trouble. (I had a brother like that when he was ‘going through a phase’–he was charming, though, not a ghoul!)
A nice story about friendships.
This sounds like a funny book
Seems like this book teaches a good life lesson.
I wonder if Goody the Ghoul would try prank calling? What would that be like in 2024? How is that done with caller ID? Is “A Ghoul is calling” cranky enough?
We like books that teach a good lesson, and this book does.
A totally ghoulish silly book.
