Books with title Boo!

Bold and brilliant illustrations crafted with Joe Fenton’s distinctive style tell the tale of a little ghost who wants to be spooky enough to win his school’s Halloween costume contest. But how can he be terrifying if he can’t make a scary face? Even the youngest of readers can relate to this earnest spirit’s struggles, as well as read along—"Boo!" is the only word used throughout the imaginative and colorful story.

Boo! is the story of a young girl's trip to the dentist on Halloween. She has a very active imagination that is fueled by each step of the visit from pulling up in front of the dental office to meeting the receptionist to meeting the hygienist, etc. The illustrations go back and forth from what she imagines to what is real. The receptionist is a goblin until she isn't. The hygienist is a witch until we meet her. The dentist is a vampire--but no. The empty couch in the waiting room is a time machine operated by gargoyles. The chair in the corner is obviously a Venus flytrap chair. However, it is true that looks can be deceiving. Find out for yourself if Katy and her imagination are on to something.

Boo is the highly anticipated debut novel from one of the most incomparable voices in Canadian literature: Bang Crunch author Neil Smith. Oliver Dalrymple, nicknamed "Boo" because of his pale complexion and staticky hair, is an outcast at his Illinois middle school--more interested in biology and chemistry than the friendship of other kids. But after a tragic accident, Boo wakes up to find himself in a very strange sort of heaven: a town populated only by 13-year-old Americans. While he desperately wants to apply the scientific method to find out how this heaven works (broken glass grows back; flashlights glow without batteries; garbage chutes plummet to nowhere), he's confronted by the greatest mystery of all--his peers. With the help of his classmate Johnny, who was killed at the same time, Boo begins to figure out what exactly happened to them (and who they really were back in America) through this story about growing up, staying young and the never-ending heartbreak of being 13.
