Book Review: Ghosted by Michael Fry

Ghosted
by Michael Fry (j Fry)

Larry and Grimm have been best friends since fourth grade. Now they are twelve years old. Grimm was rescuing a cat in a tree during a lightning storm and now he’s a ghost. The boys decide Grimm has unfinished business to attend to before he can move on. They had created a Totally To-Do bucket list they were going to complete together, and now Larry has to tackle these tasks alone on Grimm’s behalf — such as a spaghetti bath; kiss a girl; and feed the scary, mean dog next door just to name a few – but so far, nothing is working.

A hilarious story of friendship, loss, and learning to move on. The illustrations on each page add to the humor though this is neither a comic book like Peanuts or Garfield nor a graphic novel, this book falls in between the two. The drawings complement and advance the text with laugh-out-loud results. And the ending is perfect. Fry’s sense of humor is terrific, and adults will thoroughly enjoy this book.
