Description
Happy-go-lucky Cleo and science buff Fitz are back again and they are feeling . . . inspired (much to their cat, Mister Boo's, dismay).
Follow the most adorable siblings this way of the afterlife through ten gut-busting creative farces, including flexing their storytelling muscles with ghost stories and writing, casting, and producing their first film.
Jonathan Stutzman and Heather Fox, the dynamo team responsible for our favorite doomsday-prone Llama, conjure up another collection of silly and heartwarming stories in the Fitz and Cleo universe that are perfect for newly independent readers and comics enthusiasts alike.
K-Gr 2--Fitz and Cleo are back and in the creative spirit. The ghost siblings, restless from reading books and watching movies, decide to make their own film for a change. Some of the 10 stories in this book revolve around the making of the movie; the pair encounter writer's block with the script and audition their friends to play parts. Other chapters depict the ghosts trying different creative pursuits, such as painting or music. Cleo is captivated by cute animals, fantasy stories, and magic, while Fitz enjoys science and math. They support and are excited for each other, making them a fun example of teamwork and good sportsmanship. The ghosts and their world's simple designs take on a whole new angle through the ghosts' artwork, such as Cleo's colorful chalk illustrations and the much-foreshadowed short film. VERDICT Good humor between imaginative siblings leads to a number of artistic projects that young readers, series fans and newcomers alike, will want to emulate.
