is up to Liz to figure out what this ghost needs her to do! This book is ideal for readers just starting out with chapter books, its got easy to follow (and quite charming) plot twist that are very easy for beginning readers to follow, since sometimes for them it's a struggle to read the words AND comprehend the story! With The Blue Ghost, that shouldn't be an issue at all! Also this book has pictures, which will help bring the story to life for the reader! Overall, this is a great starter chapter book that gifts the reader with a charming feel good story!!
