About This Book
ParaNorman is a novelization of the acclaimed stop-motion film, following 11-year-old Norman Babcock, who has the unique ability to communicate with ghosts.

This chapter book blends comedy and horror with deep themes of acceptance, empathy, and courage. It's a story about embracing what makes you different and understanding that fear and prejudice can be more dangerous than any ghost or zombie. Perfect for ages 4-11, it offers a rich narrative for read-alouds and independent reading, prompting discussions on social commentary and emotional intelligence.
