      "A solitary child and her rule-breaking ghost roommate learn the value of compromise in this cheeky picture book. —Shelf Awareness (starred review)

      "A book that captures the dance of unlikely bonds and a way to move from a place of acceptance." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

      From Matthew Forsythe, the creator of the acclaimed and beloved Pokko and the Drum, comes a "subtle, sweet" (Booklist, starred review) picture book about rules. And sharing. And an epic game of tic-tac-toe.

      Aggie is very excited to live on her own—until she finds out her new house is haunted. But no fear, the situation is nothing that can't be fixed with a carefully considered list of rules: No haunting after dark. No stealing socks. No eating all the food.

      But the ghost doesn't like playing by the rules and challenges Aggie to an epic game of tic-tac-toe—winner gets the house.
