Spooky coincidence inspires delightful new Canberra children's book

When Mum and Dad are busy working from home, Ava gets bored. Luckily for her, Ghostie comes to the rescue. There's mischief and mayhem galore as together they explore his ghostly powers and celebrate family, friendship and imaginative play.

So goes the premise for new children's book Ghostie by Canberra author Dr Stephanie Owen Reeder, a work that not only captures the zeitgeist but also the creative imagination of the author's eight-year-old granddaughter Ava Adore Hope.
