Hardly Haunted by Jessie Sima is about an anthropomorphized house that suspects she might be haunted. Her pipes rattle, her stairs creak, and the wind just howls through her. Plus, no one lives in her: who wants to live in a haunted house? But, as the wind rattles and blows autumn leaves, the house begins to realize that she likes being haunted! All she needs is to find some friends to make “this haunted house a haunted home.” The house’s cute facial features and the atmospheric colors give this book a spooky Halloween feeling without being scary.
