โImaginative with the right number of chills.โโBooklist
Eleven-year-old Grey lives in the legend-haunted New England town of Anderโs Landing, and he canโt help but feel like a pair of eyes is watching his every move.
He discovers odd, gruesome bits and pieces from the graveyard that are left for him as gifts like art carved from bones or jewelryย made from (hopefully not human) remains. Soon Grey is caught up in something bigger than he could ever have imagined.
He finds himself drawn into a strange mystery involving a race of reclusive subterranean creaturesโghouls, the eaters of the dead! Turns out, his secret admirer is a ghoul named Lavinia. An unlikely friendship forms between them. The only problem is, their friendship breaks traditionsโand the punishment is a fate worse than death.
