What reviewers said
Selected for the CBC's 2022 August Hot Off The Press Reading List
The retro-style illustrations, featuring muted pink, blue and golds, are spot-on. Kids will have a good time being in on the joke and looking for all the hidden (and not so hidden) ghosts.
No Such Thing is spooky without ever being scary — just the right kind of silly ghost-story for the run-up to Hallowe’en. Artist/author Ella Bailey has done a wonderful job of telling a story with pictures and words, and there are delightful visual flourishes on every page, conveying the full flavor of Georgia’s increasing insistence that there must be a rational explanation for all these things.
Bailey has created a gorgeous world […] from the furniture and wallpaper to the food in the fridge. Every bit is pleasing to look at. The text is playful and ever-so-slightly sarcastic, which appeals to all different audiences. Georgia’s character is so important in this book because she is a strong female role model. […] No Such Thing is definitely an A+ book, one that every young reader should have in their collection.
Bailey's illustrations are full of wide-eyed character and expression with plenty of detail in each scene to keep keener eyes occupied.
A great Halloween gift that would last a lot longer than candy.
