<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Clarisa, an adorable pink cottage, wants nothing more than to be haunted, but her attempts only make her cuter until she tries being herself and is pleasantly surprised.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>With whimsical, rhyming stanzas, <i>She Wanted to be Haunted </i>offers a delightful, lyrical twist on the ever-important question of how to be <i>your</i> very best self.</b> <p/>Clarissa the cottage is <i>adorable</i> . . . bright pink, with windows that wink, and flowers growing all around. But Clarissa doesn't want to be adorable--being cute is <i>boring</i>. <p/>Couldn't she be like her father, a creepy castle home to vampires and crypts? Or like her mother, a witch's hut full of spells and smells? If only she were <i>haunted</i>! Then she'd be less ordinary . . . What will it take for Clarissa to go from <i>adorable</i> to <i>horrible</i>?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This lyrical picture book about the wonders of seeds will charm readers with its fun gatefolds and softly appealing illustrations of animals and plants." --<i>Shelf Awareness, starred review, on WHAT WILL GROW?</i> <p/>"Ghahremani's art is playful yet refined, and the soft textures of the wood she paints on bring warmth to vignettes of dandelion-laden meadows, pumpkins stalked by a fox, and frosty winter fields." --<i>Publishers Weekly, starred review, on WHAT WILL GROW?</i> <p/>"Captures the magic and excitement of planting a garden and waiting for it to bloom." --<i>School Library Journal, starred review, on WHAT WILL GROW?</i> <p/>"<b>An utterly original take on themes of self-acceptance just in time for Halloween, </b> this is a potential hit to have on every shelf." --<i>School Library Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Marcus Ewert</b> is the author of several picture books, including <i>Mr. Pack Rat Really Wants That</i>, illustrated by Kayla Stark, <i>Mummy Cat, </i>illustrated by Lisa Brown, and <i>10,000 Dresses, </i> recipient of the Stonewall Honor Award and illustrated by Rex Ray.
