Twelve-year-old Elwood McGee never asked to have ghost-sight, and it involves a lot more drool-dodging than he expected. Ghosts are the WORSTand they're all over the place in this sharp-witted middle grade debut novel.

Did you know that ghosts love coffee? Theyre not trying to be scary. Theyre just deprived of an appropriate amount of caffeine! They also bump into things by accident, are occasionally nosy, and get a little nervous when theyre seen by the living.

Elwood McGee knows these ghost facts because hes one of those rare people with the gift of ghost-sight. And it turns out ghosts are everywhere! Especially in the small Tennessee town where Elwood and his family had to move following the death of his big brother Noah, which Elwood thinks was his fault.

Once Elwood figures out he can see ghosts, he becomes single-mindedly determined to use his powers to see Noah and talk to him one last time. With the help of two girls who live on his street, Elwood embarks on a journey through the surprisingly funny world of ghosts and faces the realities of letting go.

At once hilarious and heart-wrenching, Adam Rosenbaum makes his middle grade debut with a supernaturalish novel about grief thats perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Dan Gutman.
