"Debut author Rosenbaum weaves serious topics into this story that’s told with humor, wit, and heart; each character is treated with the utmost care."—Kirkus Reviews
"The Ghost Rules isn’t just another scary ghost story. It’s a captivating mystery about friendship, family, and heart, with an ending that totally took me by surprise. Oh, and there are ghosts too." —Dan Gutman, New York Times bestselling author of the My Weird School series
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 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 that's perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Dan Gutman.
