Aprašymas

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 WORST--and they're all over the place in this sharp-witted middle grade debut novel.

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

Elwood McGee knows these ghost facts because he's 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 once 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 that's perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Dan Gutman.
