Misty the Ghost doesn't want to be a cute ghost. She wants to be spooky like the ones in her stories. But when she tries to be someone else, she still is not happy. When Misty gets an invitation to a Halloween party, she decides to go as herself and gets a surprise from all her friends.
This is another story about self-acceptance and as Misty learns from her friends, she is special just the way she is. She tries different ways to be spooky like becoming a mummy, a witch or a werewolf but nothing feels comfortable. When she arrives at the party though, her friends help her realize that her unique qualities are what make her special. The characters are cute and the illustrations are in bright bold Halloween colors. It is short enough for a quick read aloud and will put kids in the Halloween mood. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-7~
