Johnny And The Dead

Johnny And The Dead by Terry Pratchett, 213 pages

“After twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell suddenly starts seeing and talking to ghosts, he and his friends become involved in a battle to save the local cemetery.” This is the second book in this trilogy, but each book stands alone very well.  I really liked the interaction between Johnny and the ghosts, and between Johnny and his friends.  The kids have very authentic voices and the ghosts were hilarious.  I would definitely recommend these books to kids who like science fiction, fantasy, and humor.
