Little ghost Roderic doesn't stand the ghost of a chance of getting noticed when his family all wear the same clothes. Can he cast off his ghoulish white sheet, throw caution to the wind, and dare to be different? Talented debut author and illustrator Violeta Noy introduces us a special little spectre in this funny and original picture book story about being yourself and standing out from the crowd. As you probably know already, all ghosts wear white sheets. That's just what ghosts do. White sheets are good for haunting people and they make the ghosts feel like part of one big family. But Roderic, the little ghost who worries that his family don't find him interesting enough to notice, wants to wear something different. He tries all sorts of things... a bag, a rug, a scarf, a boot. Can he find the right one? Blending vibrant, graphic illustrations in a rainbow array of colours with a funny and appealing story, Spanish-born Noy conveys her life messages with style and whimsy. The perfect Halloween read for all daring young adventurers! * Northern National Newspapers * A lovely bright and jolly picture book about a ghost who wants to be different. With a nod to Elmer and stressing the importance of standing on to what you are, this is a fun different look at ghosts. * Angels and Urchins * Roderic is the smallest ghost in his family and is continually ignored. He doesn't want to wear a white sheet like all the rest so how can he stand out? The vibrant, bold illustrations capture the endearing little ghost as he tries on different hats, scarves and various patterned sheets to make himself look different. Children will relate to being the smallest in a family. A friendly, funny ghost story for Halloween. * South Wales Evening Post *More details
