Sir Simon: Super Scarer by Cale Atkinson is a beautifully illustrated and adorable tale about a friendship between a ghost and a boy, who bond over the chores that they have to complete.

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Sir Simon: Super Scarer by Cale Atkinson

Our main character, Sir Simon Spookington has haunted many things ranging from a forest to a potato. But Sir Simon is on to a brand new haunt that he is very excited about. This time, he is haunting a house!

To make things even more exciting, he has heard that two grandparents are moving in, and grandparents are the best to haunt!

However, when Sir Simon goes down from the attic to get a closer look, he’s thrown for a bit of a loop; a kid has moved in!

This book was adorable! The artwork was wonderful and so much fun. The story-line was engaging, humorous, and centered around friendship. There were also a few lessons thrown in there, such as treating others how you’d like to be treated, being kind and understanding, and accepting that people aren’t good at everything and that’s okay.

The whole book was so lovely; from the end pages to the smaller details. Check out some of these photos:

My Final Thoughts on Sir Simon: Super Scarer

I would very highly recommend this one!

It is definitely one I will be adding to my “Children’s Library” wish-list, and one I will likely be buying as a gift very soon!

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
