Description
Fitz and Cleo are siblings by chance, but best friends by choice. Oh, and they also happen to be ghosts. Join Cleo, a happy-go-lucky kind of gal, and Fitz, her science-minded brother, as they laugh their way through eleven gut-busting stories, including exploring the beach with a new friend, playing baseball, and gazing at the stars. Jonathan Stutzman and Heather Fox, the dynamo team responsible for our favorite doomsday-prone Llama, team up again for a silly and heartwarming graphic novel that is perfect for newly independent readers and comics enthusiasts. The book highlights just how bright the world can be when you mix a little fun with some great friends.

"This new duo will float off shelves, and fans of Ben -Clanton's Narwhal and Jelly, Mo Willems's Elephant and Piggie, Bob Shea's Ballet Cat, and Salina Yoon's Duck, Duck, Porcupine will be delighted." --School Library Journal
"Bubbly art, bold colors, and breezy paneling keep the tone playful, and fans of Clanton's Narwhal and Jelly or Willems' Elephant and Piggie will be happy to find another pair of pals to hang out with as they build their literacy skills." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Praise for the Llama series!
