“We’ll find the perfect house for you,” I whisper. I’m sitting in the attic with Som, Sum, Seam and the rest around me. Sem looks glum. Sam lets her head hang. And Siam floats back and forth restlessly. “I know. I’m sorry too. But this house is too small for you guys. There are accidents happening all the time, and according to my parents, I’m always the one to blame!”
Can you help me find places in your neighborhood for the ghosts to move to? First, draw the house with all the rooms and necessities. Then write an ad. Will you be mentioning the ghosts, or will you be hiding them?
