小鬼鬼是世界上最可愛的鬼魂！但是，可愛的鬼是嚇不了任何人的！因為這樣，她一直無法取得每個鬼魂都有的鬧鬼執照⋯⋯ ＃自我認同 ＃自我價值所有的鬼魂都要上好幾年的學校，學習怎麼當一個嚇人的鬼魂，例如怎樣發出陰森的噪音、開開關關那嘎吱作響的門、在牆壁上留下恐怖的訊息⋯⋯再來呢，他們得接受鬧鬼測驗。成功通過鬧鬼測驗的鬼魂們會取得鬧鬼執照，這是鬼魂隨身攜帶的一張小卡，就像我們的身分證一樣， 得到鬧鬼執照是一件大事， 那表示你擁有正式的鬼魂身分！可是⋯⋯小鬼鬼跟其他鬼魂不一樣，她很特別，特別小隻、特別可愛。她想要像其他鬼魂一樣，取得重要的鬧鬼執照，不過在鬧鬼史上，小鬼鬼是唯一一個考試兩次都失敗的鬼魂！鬼魂學校的老師們決定給小鬼鬼最後一次機會，他們開出（非常寬鬆的）測驗標準：不用讓人類嚇得發抖、不必讓他們放聲尖叫、也不用讓他們倒抽一口氣，妳只要讓某個人⋯⋯「哇」一聲就好了。小鬼鬼覺得好難、好難，她這麼膽小，根本不是當鬼的料，可是除了嚇人，一個鬼魂還能做什麼呢？這麼沒有自信的小鬼鬼在遇到一個可愛的小嬰兒之後，有了不一樣的轉變。她能嚇到這個可愛的嬰兒嗎？書評🏆 「立刻被萌到⋯⋯這個可愛的鬼魂無法嚇到任何人，這將引起許多小讀者的共鳴。當你又小又可愛時，很難被大一些的孩子和成年人認真對待。但正如這個故事所證明的，目標不是要像別人一樣，而是要找到成就獨特自我的方法。」——加拿大《筆與紙》（Quill & Quire）書評雜誌🏆「一個迷人的故事。小鬼鬼試圖嚇唬動物和人類的努力相當幽默，保證能讓嬰兒和其他人都微笑⋯⋯強烈推薦。」—— CM：加拿大教育資料評論（ CM: Canadian Review of Materials ）🏆 「節奏明快；小鬼鬼是一個討人喜愛的主角；文本和複合媒材藝術的圖像引人入勝。」—— 號角圖書（ The Horn Book）🏆 「讀者將無法抗拒愛上它⋯⋯這是一個平易近人的鬼故事，非常適合在課堂和家中閱讀。」——兒童文學 （ Children's Literature）🏆 「這是一個有趣、迷人的故事，講述了自我發現和在生命⋯⋯呃，死後找到目標的故事。」——加拿大兒童圖書新聞（ Canadian Children's Book News）
