But the ghost is not there to usher Charisse to the Great Beyond. Rather, she has other plans--wild, impractical, illuminating plans. How can Ferris satisfy a specter with Pinky terrorizing the town, Uncle Ted sending Ferris to spy on her aunt, and her father battling an invasion of raccoons? As Charisse likes to say, \"Every good story is a love story,\" and Kate DiCamillo has written one for the ages: emotionally resonant and healing, showing the two-time Newbery Medalist at her most playful, universal, and profound.","brand":"Kate DiCamillo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210480083157,"sku":"BS-I6J-241860","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/7170\/2485\/files\/9781536241860-HD.jpg?v=1771263485"},{"product_id":"say-youll-remember-me-1","title":"Say You'll Remember Me","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe instant #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller! \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"No one does funny, emotional, life-affirming love stories quite like Abby Jimenez.
