Giggle is a happy, heart-warming little ghost. Although most people can't see

her, she stands up for what's right, finds safe homes for animals, and figures

out which grown-ups, human or otherwise, can help her get out of trouble. She

also loves to think up tricks. Her magic is so strong that she can wish herself

and a friend to the moon.

Giggle and her parents are not ghosts in the Halloween sense. They are a family

of spirits who live in the bell tower of a church in New England. The pastor, an

Irish priest, is proud to call them his friends.

Right above Giggle and her family in the tower is Uncle Pete, a bachelor ghost

who plays the piccolo. In the room above him is Mrs. Wigglebone, a skeleton lady

who polishes the church bells. Not far away, in the synagogue, is Uncle Morty, a

wise old Jewish ghost.

Among Giggle's friends are her third-grade classmates Rusty and Lenore; Bobbi,

the only blue ghost on earth; Brenda, an African-American visitor from Florida;

and Ryan, a ten-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. With these friends, Giggle

celebrates all the happy days of the year, from Hanukkah to St. Patrick's Day.
