Ghost Attack (Monster Itch series)

Reach for this book when your child feels frustrated by their own physical limitations or perceives their differences, such as allergies or sensitivities, as a weakness rather than a unique trait. It is an ideal choice for kids who need to see that being highly sensitive to one's environment can actually be a hidden advantage. In this humorous mystery, young Alex discovers that his extreme allergies do more than just make him sneeze: they act as a supernatural radar for ghosts. While the story features spooky elements like a haunted house and a local legend, the tone remains lighthearted and focused on problem-solving. It is a perfect bridge for early readers (ages 7 to 10) who want a 'scary' story that is actually funny and empowering, normalizing the experience of living with chronic sensitivities while delivering a satisfying, fast-paced mystery.
