    About this audiobook

    You would like being friends with Leo. He likes to draw, he makes delicious snacks, and most people can't even see him. Because Leo is also a ghost. When a new family moves into his home and Leo's efforts to welcome them are misunderstood, Leo decides it is time to leave and see the world. That is how he meets Jane, a kid with a tremendous imagination and an open position for a worthy knight. That is how Leo and Jane become friends. And that is when their adventures begin. This charming tale of friendship-from two of the best young minds in picture books: the author of the Caldecott Honor-winning Extra Yarn and the illustrator of the Bologna Ragazzi Award-winning Josephine-is destined to become a modern classic that will delight readers for years to come.

    • 3/5
      This is a sweet book about a ghost with some self-respect. Solid illustrations, and an all around good-hearted story.
    • 2/5
      A lifeless story about the ghost of a child who gets evicted from his house and then confused for an imaginary friend. The plot lost me when a burglar was tossed in from nowhere to create some artificial action, drama, and resolution. Hackneyed.
    • 3/5
      Adorable tale. When we jump to conclusions about others, we could be the ones missing out on someone special; just like the first family did in this book. It took a special girl to not only see Leo, but to embrace exactly who he was, even when he was afraid to do so. I really enjoyed this one!
    • 4/5
      Not sure who would like this book.
    • 5/5
      Read on November 22, 2015I read this one aloud to myself (Jesse was watching football, Evie was playing with her birthday presents). Cute illustrations (loved how Leo was a simple blue outline), wonderful blue palette, and a lovely little friendship at the end.
