Illustrated Tale of ‘Three Spooks’ Told in New Book
FAIRPORT, N.Y. (PRWEB) July 28, 2015 -- Author JoAnn Orihuel McCarthy shares the endearing and entertaining ghost story following “Three Spooks” (published by Xlibris) as they have adventures and do what they do best, scare the living daylights out of human beings, or at least try their best in frightening their victims even just a little. Vibrantly illustrated by artist Liz Moser, the tales of the trio of spooky spirits will engage young readers and teach them invaluable life lessons.
The narrative takes place in a dark forest where two of the spooks struggle to be spooky at all. They wonder if they are too funny looking, or if they are too small or too nice. There is a third spook around who is considered to be the scariest spook of all. The two wonder why he is so scary and how he is different than them. The ghosts come together to uncover a very unexpected problem and in doing so, the story shows readers the importance of embracing one’s true unique self.
McCarthy’s tale is based on her childhood experiences and the stories told by her uncles, adding more sincerity in a tale about self-discovery, self-acceptance and how to attain these things in order to be a strong and independent person ready to face life’s challenges, whether it is bullying in school or the ordeals facing adults navigating the perilous paths of life and society.
