So Not Ghoul
"A luminous picture book that embraces the beauty of biculturalism." —School Library Journal
"Full of ghostly puns, this is a playful look at identity, culture, and new-student blues." —Kirkus Reviews
"Yin serves up a pun-tacular ghost story...[Mimi's] desire to fit in is easily relatable and gives her decision to stand up to bullies extra oomph." —Booklist
On her first day haunting a new school, all Mimi has to wear are old Chinese gowns from her great-great-great-great-great-ghost-grandmother. She wants to look horrifying and rattle chains with the cool American ghouls at school, but her ghost ancestors insist she dress and behave like a good Chinese ghost. Desperate to fit in and find a middle haunting ground between her cultures, she plans a ghastly new look. But she questions whether her haunt couture is a fabulous fright or a grave mistake when her family finds out, and another ghoul at school appropriates her Chinese fashion.
This ghoulishly playful ghost story offers a boo-tiful reminder that while sometimes school and family can make you feel invisible, bicultural pride never goes out of style.
