Review by Horn Book Review

Young zombie Ghoulia returns in a second book in this reluctant-reader-friendly series for the chapter-book set. Here Ghoulia must solve the mystery of Auntie Departeds disappearance from Crumbling Manor with the help of unexpected (and very grouchy) visitor Cousin Dilbert. As in the first book, the appeal is in the attractive book design with frequent double-page spreads incorporating text into the colorful gothic-inspired illustrations. Funny details in both text and art abound (the doorbell howls rather than rings; a portrait of Alfred Hitchcock hangs on the wall). An offbeat but entertaining choice for Halloween reading. martha v. parravano September/October 2019 p.50(c) Copyright 2019. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
