Smoke Cat

When Simon moved into his new house, he's intrigued to see an old lady wandering through next door's garden, nuzzled by a throng of cars, and restlessly summoning one strange, misty blue cat who refuses to join the hoarde. He's even more intrigued to learn that both the lady and the mysterious cat died long before he arrived at the house but when he learns of the connection between the ghost and the garden that she's left behind, he devises a way of bringing her peace. Classed as a Young Hippo 'Spooky', this is a gentle and reassuring story you can read to upper infants or younger juniors without risking damage to their sleep. It's also an interesting book for newly independent readers to enjoy on their own.
