Book description
Sell the cemetery?
Over their dead bodies...
Not many people can see the dead (not many would want to).
Twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell can. And he's got bad news for them:
the council want to sell the cemetery as a building site. But the dead
have learnt a thing or two from Johnny. They're not going to take it
lying down . . . especially since it's Halloween tomorrow.
Besides, they're beginning to find that life is a lot more fun than
it was when they were . . . well . . . alive. Particularly if they
break a few rules . . .
