Squashed

by Meaghan Tosi, Thomas Tosi (Other)

Overview

"A shiveringly good tale for ghost story enthusiasts who like happy endings."

-Kirkus Reviews

"Readers will fall for this spooktacular tale!"

-The Children's Book Review

Aah! Dude! It moved!

Can the mysterious shuddering pumpkin the three kids found in the forest be alive? They're going to find out when they lift it from its resting place and carry it home. But what happens if someone-or something-comes looking for it?

This evocative graphic novel is spooky yet ultimately gentle and charming. It presents a tale of unfounded fear of those who are different and the similarities we all share. Told in richly stylized full-color artwork from illustrator Meaghan Tosi whose previous work Kirkus Reviews praised as delightful.
