Publishers Weekly (starred review) From Matthew Forsythe the creator of the acclaimed and
beloved Pokko and the Drum comes a “subtle sweet” ( Booklist starred review) picture book
about rules. And sharing. And an epic game of tic-tac-toe. Aggie is very excited to live on
her own—until she finds out her new house is haunted. But no fear the situation is nothing
that can’t be fixed with a carefully considered list of rules: No haunting after dark. No
stealing socks. No eating all the food. But the ghost doesn’t like playing by the rules and
challenges Aggie to an epic game of tic-tac-toe—winner gets the house.
