Overview

Leonard the cheerful, can-do ghost is growing his family a garden. The other ghosts want it to be the scariest garden EVER! But the more Leonard sows, the less creepy their new garden seems.

Or will this botanical surprise blossom into a spook-tacular delight? From Bill Martin Jr. Picture Book Award winner Mike Ciccotello, spring has sprung in this charming story about family, gardening, and a determined ghost with a green thumb.
