Description

13-year-old October Schwartz is new in town, short on friends and the child of a clinically depressed science teacher. Naturally she spends most of her time in the Sticksville Cemetery, which happens to border her back garden. And that back garden just happens to be the home of five dead teenagers, each from a different era of the past! Soon October befriends the five kids and together - using October's smarts and the dead kids' ability to walk through walls - they form The Dead Kid Detective Agency, committed to solving Sticksville's most mysterious mysteries.

Reviews

"Hilarious, geeky pop culture fun and surprisingly touching, Dead Kid Detective Agency was an absolute joy to read. And any writer who says about Jackie Chan that readers should drop his book and watch Chan's 'Hong Kong stuff' makes an immediate fan of me. I finished this book on a Sunday afternoon and already look forward to Book 2." -- Literary Treats
