SPIRITED HC GN (2025)

The only living girl in a ghost town struggles to find her place in the first book in the Spirited graphic novel chapter book series. Olivia "Liv" Livingston thinks life on the right side of Narrow Bridge is, well, just right! What's not to love about the perfect town of Pleasant Place? But then her parents pack up and move the family to the left, spooky side of the bridge...right into Gloomsdale. Liv quickly learns that life is going to be very different, especially in a ghost town...literally. The town looks antique, some students have gleaming fangs, and let's just say her new house might be haunted. Will Gloomsdale dampen Liv's spirits? Or can she creep it real and find her place?

Liv tries out for the Gloomsdale Elementary Ghoul Squad in this second book in the Spirited graphic novel chapter book series. Liv Livingston feels she's finally found her footing in her new school-even the bat hall monitors at Gloomsdale Elementary don't screech at her as much! But when Liv's new friend Vera asks her to try out for the Ghoul Squad with her, she's not sure it's her crowd. The members are pretty daunting with their matching uniforms and constant spelling of words-particularly the leader, Astrid, who isn't very nice. Still, Liv doesn't want to lose Vera's friendship. Can she get through tryouts without spelling D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R?

Liv's science class has a new botany project: finding the plant that best represents them. Mrs. Arber, the ghost caring for (and haunting) the Gloomsdale Botanical Gardens, comes in to give a helping hand. In a town full of ghosts, Liv isn't even sure she knows who she is, but when she meets a new ghost friend, she discovers that maybe she's not the only one feeling like the odd-ghoul-out.

Liv's vampire friend loses a prized fang in book four of the Spirited graphic novel chapter book series. Liv Livingston is having a ghoul-tastic day at her vampire friend Vera van Pire's house-which is not the totally creepy castle Liv expected-with their were-pup friend, Howl. But when the trio play Bat Ball, Vera loses one of her fangs! To make things worse, picture day is tomorrow! Can Vera's glittering vampire grin be restored, or is she doomed to fade into the flash?
