h/cvr blurb:
`Call any time you like,' said the Alderman. `I'm always in.
That's something you learn to be good at, when you're dead...'
Not many people can see the dead (not many would want to).
But twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell can. And the dead are
nothing like he expected. They don't lurch about. They don't
push through walls. They can't even _dance_ like they do in
videos. They're just people -- post-senior citizens -- and
they're always in.
At least, up until now. Now the council want to move them out
so the cemetery can be sold as a building site. But the dead
have learned 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. Especially if they
break a few rules...
