Ghoulia and the Mysterious Visitor (Book #2)
The second book in this popular full-color chapter book series, a great fit for fans of Netflix's Wednesday and all readers who enjoy a mix of humor, adventure, and a touch of the macabre!
Ghoulia is a typical little girl . . . who happens to be a zombie. She lives in Crumbling Manor with her Auntie Departed and albino greyhound named Tragedy.
One dark and stormy night, Ghoulia's cousin Dilbert comes to visit her at Crumbling Manor. She's confused—she didn't invite him, and it turns out that Dilbert's a real grouch. He complains about everything!
When Ghoulia tries to track down Auntie Departed to find out why she invited Dilbert, she finds that Auntie has vanished. Ghoulia can't find her. And the doorbell won't stop ringing.
One after another, Ghoulia's friends arrive—all with the same mysterious invitation in hand. As the gang searches Crumbling Manor for Auntie Departed, one of their own goes missing. Finally, Dilbert inadvertently solves the mystery in the greenhouse when he finds himself face-to-face with the sinister Chatterbox Ivy.
Perfect for ages 6–8, reluctant readers, and fans of Wednesday and The Addams Family, this Halloween-themed series combines a love for the spooky with lessons about acceptance and courage. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Ghoulia's world, this book is a must-have for any young reader's library.

PRAISE
"Funny details in both text and art abound . . . An entertaining choice for Halloween reading." —The Horn Book
The Mortina series originated in Italy in 2017, where it became an instant international success. While many European translations (such as the Spanish, German, Lithuanian, and Bulgarian editions) chose to keep her original name, "Mortina," the English-language editions adapted the name "Ghoulia" to maximize its comedic and macabre charm for Western kids.
