Ghosts need friends too. Here’s your chance to make a felt ghost in preparation for the arrival of How to Make Friends with a Ghost by Rebecca Green on September 5, 2017.
Instructions
Step 1: Pre-order the book. (You can pre-order from anywhere – even your favorite local bookstore and e-books count, too.)
Step 2: Fill out the form between July 17, 2017 to July 23, 2017 to confirm your pre-order.
Step 3: Once we receive your form, we will send you a “How to Make a Ghost Friend” craft kit or a limited edition READ art print.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this only open to Canada and the United States of America?
A: Yes, this is for North America only. We are very sorry, international friends!
