Sarah's Little Ghosts

32 pp. | Clarion | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-89210-5 $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Philippe Goossens. After Sarah secretly breaks her mother's necklace, one and then more ghosts (representing her conscience) pop out of her mouth and haunt her every time she evades the truth. The book suffers from a too-tidy resolution and lackluster first-person narration, but the shadowy art, in rich, blocky oils that make use of unusual angles, is harmonious with the book's themes.
