<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The adventures of a goldfish who just died.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Goldfish Ghost was born on the surface of the water in the bowl on a dresser in a boy's room. The boy's room was pleasant and familiar, but Goldfish Ghost wanted company, so he set out to find a friend. <p/>He floats over the neighborhood, past the pier, and let the breeze carry him into town where he discovers that not many people pay attention to goldfish ghosts. <p/>Off he floats, searching for the perfect home and the perfect friend <p/>and then he hears a voice. . . <p/>Bestselling author Lemony Snicket and illustrator Lisa Brown brings us a fresh and funny take on what happens after your favorite goldfish crosses over to the other side. <p/><b>A Neal Porter Book</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>*In the field of pet bereavement narratives, this one stands out for tenderness, originality, and subtlety.--Horn Book, starred review <p/>*Can a book about death and the afterlife be refreshing and funny? In the hands of Snicket and Brown, indeed it can. This oddball offering should find a welcome home in any picture book collection.--School Library Journal, starred review <p/>*Line and watercolor art gives Goldfish Ghost an unexpected robustness as he palely wafts through the steely sky, balanced by the busyness of the earthly scenes below him; he's a reassuringly homey and accessible ghost even in his un- earthly state. Like Snicket's <i>The Dark </i>(BCCB 6/13), this could be a way to make uncomfortable spaces friendlier; it's also a logical go-to for smaller pet death, and adults who come to snicker will leave unexpectedly moved.--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review <p/>A lovely, untrammeled look at a pet's afterlife.--Kirkus Reviews <p/>Don't expect this ghost story to slip by unnoticed.--Booklist <p/>Goldfish Ghost is an enigmatic hero--is he lonely, or just fussy?--but Snicket's portrayal of the lighthouse keeper's intuitive kindness and Brown's subdued, moonlit landscapes resolve the story with moments of magic.--Publishers Weekly</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Lemony</b><b> Snicket </b>is the author of far too many books for children, including <i>The Dark</i>, which won the Charlotte Zolotow Award<i>, </i> and <i>13 Words</i>, which didn't.
