Charming, Spooky, and Full of Heart – A Perfect Moral Adventure for Kids!

Lessons from the Ghost is a delightful and imaginative collection of short stories that brings the perfect blend of gentle chills and meaningful life lessons to young readers. This isn't your typical ghost story book filled with frights—instead, it’s a heartwarming, age-appropriate journey where friendly, mysterious ghosts help children learn essential values like kindness, honesty, empathy, and courage.
Each of the 15 tales introduces a new child protagonist who faces a moral challenge or personal dilemma. Just when things seem confusing or uncertain, a benevolent ghost appears—not to scare, but to guide. These ghosts serve as gentle mentors, helping the children understand their actions and encouraging them to make thoughtful, ethical choices. It's spooky in the best way—mysterious, magical, and just suspenseful enough to keep kids glued to every page without causing nightmares.
The real magic of this book lies in its ability to pair fun and suspense with deep emotional intelligence. Whether it’s helping a child find the courage to stand up for a friend or reminding them why telling the truth matters, each story plants a seed of character growth that kids can carry with them long after storytime ends.

Creepy, Clever, and Perfect for Young Readers

This spooky short story collection was such a fun surprise! Each tale blends just the right amount of eerie tension with thoughtful morals that give it depth beyond the usual ghost story fare. It’s creepy enough to keep kids, teens—and even adults—hooked, but not too intense for bedtime or campfire storytelling.

What really makes it stand out is the heart behind the scares. Every story leaves you with a life lesson, making it a great pick for parents or teachers looking for meaningful reads. The colorful, eye-catching illustrations are a bonus that add charm and character.

Whether you’re reading under the covers or around the fire, this book offers a spooky yet heartwarming experience that sticks with you long after the last page.

Friendly Ghost Book of Morals

With the help of some friendly ghosts, the children of the mythical town of Stalobrook learn valuable lessons in morality through their everyday lives. Morals such as not judging a book by its cover, caring for the lonely, keeping promises, interactions with a bully, finding courage, honesty, sharing, forgiveness, teamwork, finding silver linings, being a good friend and understanding the true meaning of beauty.

This cute book will not only educate kids, but also adults who read it. Introducing the slightly spooky element of ghosts adds a little excitement to the read. It is reminiscent of Charles Dickens’ Scrooge, where ghosts haunted him to show him the error of his ways, illustrating where he could end up if he didn’t heed their warnings.

A valuable addition to your child’s library.

“Lessons From The Ghost: 15 Spooky Tales with Morals” by S. Mallick is an ideal book for young, impressionable readers. These are gentle ghost stories that feature children protagonist, the plots convey lessons on behavior, and the stories are accompanied by color illustrations. These tales could be read to kids as bedtime stories, as I do not believe most children would find them at all scary. The topics covered include: forgiveness, honesty, kindness, and sharing. It’s a worthwhile read, especially for the young!

Very creative

Wonderfully creative. I truly enjoy reading children’s books for their boundless imagination, and this collection of spooky short stories is delightful. Each tale skillfully blends just the right amount of eerie suspense with meaningful morals, giving the book a depth that appeals to readers of any age. The illustrations are captivating and bring each story to life.

I have just one minor suggestion: adding page breaks between chapters would help to clearly distinguish each story and enhance the reading experience.
