A frightened young emigrant from China makes a new friend.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Paul Yee and illustrator Gu Xiong work their magic together in this handsome picture book featuring a young boy left alone all day in a new country while his parents go to work. Seeing a face in his own attic window, he meets a boy his own age, who he plays with to pass the lonely hours. Whether the boy is a ghost or a figment of the lad's imagination is left to the opinion of the reader. But when the boy's parents announce that they are moving, the lad cannot persuade his friend to move with him, and so the friendship is lost. This is a ghost-fantasy tale for imaginative young readers.
