The Sad Ghost Club: Vol 3 by Lize Meddings

The third instalment of The Sad Ghost Club sees SG, Socks and Rue expanding The Sad Ghost Club to more members. SG and Socks slip into their new roles as leaders of the club but Rue starts taking on a lot of projects. As the pressure of juggling multiple commitments, Rue begins to feel overwhelmed, sacrificing their self care to try and prove they are useful to the group.

SG and Socks notice a change in Rue but when they ask them about how they are, they brush them off saying they are fine but their friends aren’t convinced.

TSGC 3 explores how, as people with mental health issues, can often over compensate within their relationships as they want to be needed. This can sometimes express itself by not prioritising their own needs and letting their self care slip. With all TSGC books, heavy topics like anxiety, depression and grief are explored in a softer way, slowly building the reader up to the core message weaved through the book.

The Sad Ghost Club series is an amazing book collection for any age. I first read them last year and was blown away so much that i leant my copy to the children at work. Many have found such comfort in The Sad Ghost Club and have taken so much from them to help.
