Abstract:
What if your favorite place in all the world becomes inhabited by a ghoul bent on keeping you out? You would probably hide under the covers--just like the young protagonist in David Witting’s deliciously bizarre story The Ghoul of the Garden. One summer, while enjoying the Boston Public Garden, Bean begins to hear strange sounds coming from the park. After letting her imagination run, Bean musters up the courage to confront the Ghoul, only to find that things are not always what they seem. Young readers will adore this eccentric tale that is equal parts Tim Burton and Robert McCloskey (Ages 3 and older)
