Bumble and Snug and the Shy Ghost New by Mark Bradley (author)

Winner of the Scholastic Graphic Novel Award 2024 Shortlisted for The Week Junior Children’s Book of the Year: Illustrated 2024

Best friends Bumble and Snug are bugbops – little monsters filled with BIG feelings! Join them in this new, full-colour graphic novel, as they go on a thrilling, funny adventure with a VERY shy ghost and learn about the world outside and inside.

Bumble and Snug are excited to show off their magic tricks at the Bugbopolis Talent Show together with their new friend, a little ghost. They’ll need to practise first, from pulling rabbits out of a hat to picking the right cards and levitating. There’s just one problem, the ghost turns invisible when she’s shy!

When the little ghost gets overwhelmed and vanishes before they can begin their act, Bumble and Snug will have to save the show. But there are other obstacles to overcome too – and it starts with a falling stage!

Bumble and Snug and the Shy Ghost is a story about being shy, friendship, magic tricks and a disaster or two!

Perfect for readers just starting to enjoy stories independently, for visual readers and for wise kids to share with their grown-ups. For fans of Narwhal and Jelly and Dogman.
